I use my tour pack about 50% of the time that I ride. I have no issue with&nbsp\\;the fit . Glad&nbsp\\;I spent the money on it.

Detachable, on RKC, rock solid, on or off in less than 5 minutes, IMHO looks better without it but It'll hold 3-4 bags of groceries or similar which is nice when you need it.

Ordered a detachable with the Ultra TourPak for my 08 Road Glide.&nbsp\\; Just canceled and am going with the "fixed".&nbsp\\; I am currently using a Kuryakyn Grand Tour Pak I used for trips but discovered I really like the extra storage.&nbsp\\; I found as a daily driver (gas prices) I like the storage of the Kuryakyn but don't like the looks as a "permanant" pak.&nbsp\\; I guess time will tell but do not plan on taking off the Ultra Pak at all.&nbsp\\; Just my 2cts worth.

I have the detachable on my RK and it's mostly off.&nbsp\\; It's a high-up heavy weight that I don't miss for local rides.&nbsp\\; But it's nice to slap on for that extra storage on long trips.

I have the detachable tour pack and it hasn't been detached since I put it on.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Like to haul my junk around.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Never had a fitment issue with it.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;

&nbsp\\;
Same here.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Only time I have had it off, was to install LED tail lights and it was easier (and cooler), to bring the tourpack in the house.&nbsp\\;

Detachable tour pack is a nice option to have especially if mama doesn't ride alot and most of your riding is fairly local. For day trips you can get everything you need in the 2 saddlebags. Like others I really like the look of the bike when it's off.
