I took home my 2018 CVO Street Glide last year in May. I bought it knowing that I would want / need “Ultra Classic-mode” a few times a year and I planned on the additional investment in options and add-ons. I love the bike’s ability to go from solo runner to full-on over the road touring. Perfect bike for me.

Late last year I picked-up the King Tour-Pak and installed the air wing spoiler with the brake light. Wife and I have completed half-dozen or so long-weekend and week-long trips. I have really been missing the pleasure of the power lock on this trunk, and lately I began staring at the rear-end and feeling like it was missing something. Then I stumbled across the CVO Limited interior and saddlebag lights and I’m like “That’s it - I want it all!”

So with the help of this forum and my parts-guy, I’m looking to Take this tour-pak to the next level. Here’s what’s on the list:

1. Wrap-around LED brake/turn/tail lamp
2. CVO power lock
3. Side marker light kit
4. Interior light kit

Thought I’d share few pics and thoughts as I embark on this mod. Interested in thoughts / experiences of others. Hope this helps those thinking about the same mods for themselves.

 

A view of “the workshop”...



Fitting the light-bar will be the first project...

 

Just a suggestion, if you can find an old light bar, a bad/broke one, you can take the lens off of it, then you can drill the 8 mounting screw hole thru (and the antenna holes if necessary) and cut the wiring plug off of it, then you have the base as a template that you can clamp it in place, that is setting exactly as the light will. I see you made a paper one, I just thought I'd throw that out there in case you're having any reservations about the paper template. Here's an example of the "template", I didn't take a picture of it clamped on, but I use two C-Clamps to hold it securely in place while I drilled the mounting holes and marked the wire access hole.

One other thing, after cutting the hole for the wiring, I filed the corners of the hole smooth with a rat-tail file in an effort to discourage any cracks from developing.

 

Nice work bench, did you get that at Sears? That is some man cave, it has a couch and full kitchen. I am jealous.

 

Got my eye on this mod... I’d like to light my pack up eventually as well.

 

Yes - this would be the preferred method. I went with a paper template and was extra careful along the way...

 

It all works, just more contemplation lol

 

Ha! Lower-level kitchen (I think every Italian has a second kitchen in the basement!). The counter space is great for parties, folding laundry and the occasional “fix-it” project.

 

As mentioned, I made myself a paper template and started with a very tight punch-out of the connector block. I set the template across the back of the pack and lined it up as best I could in order to mark the hole for the connector. I knew that I could play with that hole (pun intended).

 

Next, I drilled and cut the opening for the connector. Brand-new drill bits and a Dremel tool are your friend here.
