RE: removable tourpak
Well since I have an Ultra, it came with the King Tour Pack.
I also added the luggage rack and bought the T Bags, Dekker Supreme.
With the tour pack, dekker, and both saddle bags, momma can actually go a week without complainin.
I am working on the hitch and trailer for the camping gear and some room for my stuff, this winter.

RE: removable tourpak
I bought the king Tour Pak from Harley, Sierra Red, for my Road King, and like everyone said, you're lucky it comes with a box - you have to buy EVERYTHING for it, locks, hardware, backrest, detachable mounting, which brings the total to about $1100.00, but the quality is very good - it works great for trips, so now the wife & I can carry a weeks worth of stuff easily when we go away for a ride (also using 2 T-Bags, 1 small, 1 big, and her riding her Softail) - I'm not much on keeping it on the bike except for trips, and when the weather changes so I have a place to carry the heavy riding gear when the afternoon is warm and I need lighter jackets and stuff. It really doesn't look bad at all on the bike, I just prefer to keep my bike looking leaner.

I put a chopped box on right off the hop from the dealer. I hardly ever take it off mainly because my wife won't get on without it, and it is darn handy. I rigged up a stubby antenna that I just thread on when the pack is off. Takes all of about 30 seconds.

RE: removable tourpak
Just my opinion, but I think on a Street Glide or Road Glide the chopped tour pack looks the best. My RG is lowered front and rear and I put the chopped pack on mine and was on the road for ten days this past spring and had everything I needed and room for crap I bought along the way. Of course if I had an Ultra I would have probably bought more crap though. LOL!!!!

RE: removable tourpak
Depends on whether you are looking for practicality or looks. I went for looks and got the chopped tour pack. I have it set up for solo or two up. I like the looks, but it doesn't hold at much as the king.

RE: removable tourpak
I went with the chopped and I have no regrets. If you need more storage than that, you're trying to take too much crap. I can't tell you how many Ultra and Classic owners come up to check out my bike. I rarely take the tour pack off but I've always got the option. As far as the antenna goes, I've got a Tune Trapper under the fairing and the only problem I have with that is I don't get all the weather stations. Not a bad trade off for the trick look.

RE: removable tourpak
I was in the same boat and I decided on a leather tourpack from a RK custom(or classic) for 3 reasons. 1, size wise it seems to be a compromise between a chopped and king pack, 2, I bought it used and I don't have to worry about matching paint since it's leather, and 3, I basically stole it...$150.00 for the pack, quick detach rack and and docking kit. I actually like the way it looks on my Streetglide and so has everyone that has seen it. Just another option for ya to think about.
