Enjoy that ride!!
Well I was shown the before and after pic of the HD kit and the FBI kit, and was also shown how clean the FBI kit looks without the tour pack on. Not sure if it saves any money… if I decide to install it I will post pics, the dealer told me that the HD kit leaves ***** and bolts sticking up over the fender buts that what I was told…

thanks everyone! pics to come

Congrats! You will love it and probably not miss the Fatboy. Give it a try for awhile with leaving the tour pack on. You will probably learn to like having it there so much you won't ever want to remove it. I've seen so many people spend the dough to remove it and they NEVER do! Ride Safe and enjoy.

You know, after thinking about it and reading this I just may try and leave it alone for a while… then will see. Sometimes I can be compulsive…



Picking it up tomorrow! i can tell it may be a sleepless night
