Default tour pak quick removal

I understand that when using the quick release/docking station for the tour pak, that you need to use a different license plate frame. Does anyone that's installed this have suggestions?

Mine is a quick release system for my Ultra travel trunk and didn't use any other set up for the license plate other then stock!

It was not necessary for the installation, but I bought this bracket from Ebay and it was great quality.

What......you mean my dealer would actually try and sell me a license plate at $65 that isn't needed??!!! Well, I never.....

Thanks, I'll apply the saved $65 towards stage 1.

I have a 05 e-glide clasic and it came with a non detachable tour pac from the factory. The factory tag bracket suports the
rear of the tour pack mounting bar. I changed it out for one my friend removed from his RK custom. I think if your bike came
without tour pack then you can reuse your original tag bracket. But if it has a factory mounted tour and you are making it
detachable then you will need a different bracket.

You didn't say which bike you have. If it is a Roadking, Roadglide, or EG Standard that did not come with a tour pac you wil not need a different lic. bracket. It your bike came with a tour pac, (EG Classic, EG Ultra Classic) you will need to have a different license plate bracket as the brackets on these bikes are part of the tour pac bracket.

When I made the tour pac quick detach. on my EG Classic I used HD's laydown lic. plate bracket. It gives a very clean look when the tour pac is off.

Regards,

Bill
