Personally I have thought many times of going detachable. I like the clean lines look, of the SG, but, and a big BUT, it seems just about every ride, I use it. In summer, especially, the jacket and helmet go in there. I ride with armored mesh jacket in summer, and armored leather in winter. I most often wear a FF helmet, and have no desire to come out of a store to find the helmet that I left on my bars, is gone. So the helmet and jacket are locked in the trunk.
Like I said, I really like the clean look of the SG, but the convenience of the tourpak has kept me from spending the cash for the detachable kit. In addition, I read of guys complaining a lot about them getting loose and rattling. Although the detachable sissy bar on my sportster was tight as a drum. But it didn't weigh 50 lbs either.

Took mine off five years ago shortly after I got the bike. Sold it for 850. Haven’t regretted it for one second.
Sold the tp support rack for another 50 to somebody else. 👍🏻

First you said...You will never convince me the bike handles any different with or without.
Then you post....."25 lbs up high and in the rear of the bike could easily be noticeable."...............
Nope, given this........I'm not getting into a pissin' match with someone who just randomly interjects presumptions I never made. Enjoy the ride

Smitty901 made the first comment.
I made the second one. I mostly agreed with you that you can feel the difference, but on a 900 lb bike it's not going to matter that much.
So I'm not getting into a pissing match with someone who can't read.
