I put a detachable tour -pak on my street glide. It never came back off.
On my limited I have no plan to take it off ever. Lunch box full, face helmet, sena freewire. Just stuff that's needed on daily basis. If I took it off I would have to drive my truck and winter is long enough as it is.
I've just began looking at Limited's and already know I'm gonna get the quick detach kit right off the bat. Day to day items can be thrown in the saddlebags and I'll really only need the trunk for longer trips while 2up.
I am buying my colormatched trunk setup this winter, and I am definitely going with the detachable, so that I can leave it off except for those long trips. I have friends with RoadGlides that NEVER remove them, even with the HD detachable set up.
I took the tour-pac off, and put a roll bag on the passenger seat. The wife does not Ride.
When I go on a long road trip i put the tour-pac on.
I like cruising around the mountain roads and going to town without the tour-pac,
I have the better-looking and far more manly Sharknose, but I also have a detachable Tour Pak. I've put it back on exactly once since I installed the kit. When I got back from that trip it came right back off.
But if you're driving a Sharknose and you take off the Tour Pak where do you keep all your makeup?
