Welp, Thanks to a member here who set me up with a tour pack QD setup, I have the tour pack off and the street glide seat on! Ready for a ride tomorrow! Still need to do the connectors under the seat and figure out what to do with the headset Comms cable(Want to get rid of it)

Also got my hidden antenna kit on! Pics soon

You mentioned slack in the shifter.[no,a half inch play is not right] I haven't read all the responses here, but if it hasn't been mentioned yet-CHECK the lever where it attaches to the shift rod on the trans! [behind the primary]. They have a habit of coming loose,nobody checks them until it's too late.
