Default Tour pac
Does anyone know how much a tour pac weighs on a 2019 Ultra limited? Also how does taking the tour pac off affect how the bike feels? Thanks

My bike (mine is much older) certainly feels a little better without a tourpak, but having made mine qd I don't often take it off! I do that most often while in the garage to make moving around easier, especially while servicing or tinkering - but I have a pretty small garage with limited room.

I believe they are between 28-30 lbs. I would think taking it off would indeed change the ride.The bikes are setup from the factory for weight distribution. By taking the tour pack off the weight would shift more towards the front end. IMO

Many others on the forums have removed theirs and ridden, so I’m sure you will get answers here.

Removing tour pak will lower the center of gravity. The only time you feel it is when you lift it off kick stand. Once moving there is no difference IMO.

It'll handle better without it. I would leave mine off, but the GF prefers it to the sissy bar. When I ride alone, I leave it home.

I just weighed my detachable pak and it is #40. Yes it does feel different but so does riding with and without a passenger.
I recommend having the quick release brackets. I can take mine off or load it on in about 2 minutes.

I have a 2019 Ultra Classic and remove the tour pack when I’m running around town and not traveling. I do like the lighter feel of the bike.

Ive got the qd mount on my 14 limited. When im by myself the pack is off and i run a c&c sport tour seat. When the wifes with me i run the tour pack on and an ultimate tallboy. It takes a few min to swap everything over, but the difference without the tourpack is pretty significant. The bike is more "flickable" without it. I can do the figure 8 deal on the limited no problem with the pack. Its just easier without it.

The tour pack on my ‘16 FLHTK is 40-lbs. empty. It’s off 90% of the time. The bike feels nimbler at all speeds but especially at low speeds.

Thanks for weighing that for me.
