Look in my photo album johnny , I have the Ultra , the lights are built in , and when you order it , they will paint it to match your anni. colors , took about two weeks to get mine .. You do have an extra anntenna mount and I'm gonna put another radio antenna on mine and connect it up ..

The King TP's that came on the EG Classics and Ultra Anniversary models are listed in the HD "Paint Book" catalog. It's the book the parts guys use to order replacement painted parts, usually because someone crashed their bike and need replacement fenders, saddlebags, etc. It's organized by model year, bike model, then OEM colors. So, if you want a TP for an Anniversary Classic or Ultra, it will be listed in that book.

So, take a look at an Anniversary Classic and Ultra and decide if one of those TP's is what you want.

The Ultra style has the wrap around tail/brake lights and mounting for two antennas. The Classic style is a plain tour pak with no rear lights and comes with an antenna mount on one side. The bottom of each side has a chrome strip that can be removed and replaced with light strips.

I will look for photos of mine but just go to the HD website and look at the Ultra Classic Electraglide and the Classic Electraglide. You can do a 360° view of the bikes and check out the tourpaks from every angle.

I found a couple pics. In one there are no sidelights and a luggage rack. That was before I owned the bike. The dealership loaned it to me for a couple weeks. When I bought it they replaced the lid because I didn't want the luggage rack. I added the lid spoiler and replaced the side chrome strips with led lights.

And if you are going to use detachable hardware. Get the detachable lock. Aniv and SE Tour paks are hot items to steal. Also you may want to ask around. I had a detachable Pak on my old bike and all the folks I know that have had it didn't like how much the tour pack shook. The mounting is not nearly as solid as the fixed mount. And once you start using a tour pak you will probably never take it off. Taking the things you need out, unplugging the lights, rolling up the wires, relocating and reconnecting the antenna, takes more time than you think.

They also make a light kit that you can install later. I am looking into this for my SG. I don't know if the Ultra tour pak will look good on a SG, bot I like the extra visability the lights give.

Does anyone know if it makes a difference which one I use? Since I am using the same part number for my bike as would the SG for the quick detachable hardware,I don't see what difference it would make?
INPUT PLEASE
I think that I bought all of the stuff to fit my SG from Zanotti's. I also gave them my key number and they matched the locks to fit my keys and gave me 2 more keys too. I personally like my King Tour Pack of the low profile one. Has much more room for stuff. I can honestly say that the sissy bar passenger back rest has never been back on the bike sense.

I've heard this a lot, which is why I think I’m going with the tour pack without the lights and relocate the antenna permanently in the fairing for my style of riding. I found I don’t even like the passenger backrest on my RKC unless someone is riding with me.
