Default Ultra Glide Has Evolved

Finally completed the Lowers and Ultra King Tour Pak on my 08. I had a few questions and promised to post pics when install was complete. Well it finally has come, now just for the continous chrome add ons. Enjoy!!

Looks really sharp RD GLD. It is hard to tell from the photos but do you have the Anniversary Logos on the Tour Pack Backrest and Lid?

I always thought the same thing. The old Tour Glide was a great ride. Why they stopped making that I don't know. So now we add a few additions and it's there. Thanks for the thumbs up...ride safe..

Looks great; excellent choices.

Did the Ultra TP come with holes for the speaker pods? If so, how will you fill them?

Coincidentally, I was at my local dealer and talking with a sales guy looking at "your bike" and we had previously discussed the width of the six gallon tank causes the thighs to contact the tank in a normal "five gallon tank" riding position. He said because of the seating position on the RG, the contact with the tank is avoided. I sat on the bike and, sure enough, no thighs rubbing the gas tank.
