Tour-pak removal
Hi guys I am new to the forum. I have a question I hope someone can answer. I have an 07 Ultra Classic. As many people want to and some have, I want to remove the tour pak when I am riding around town. My question is do I have to have the quick release kit. Can I just unbolt it and take it off? I had a 96 Electra Glide Standard for many years and thats what I did with it. It did not have rear speakers so that was not a problem. My local dealer tells me all of the rear wires will just unplug??
Anyone know??
Thanks Eddie

Both radio and CB antennas should unscrew from the tour pak and re-connect to lower mounts, just unscrew the cables first (one on each side of the fender) and screw the antennas on. I deleted the CB connection and stowed the wire beneath the seat, I don't use it. You can buy a knurled thumb screw for your rear seat mount and get rid of the o.e.m. screw, it eliminates the need for a wrench/screwdriver. I also use a short radio antenna, you can get one from the dealership.That's what I did anyway...good luck.

I bought a 2010 C.V.O. Street Glide seat. I love it. It is very comfortable. I think there were some issues with fitment when they first came out but, the current issue is great. My stock seat is a p.o.s. and is going to "mean city" for an upgrade.

I done it on my Ultra with HD removal kit. I just unplugged wires (speakers and antenna), change saddle (wires under) and i've got a new bike.

I bought a street glide off Ebay for a reasonable price, it looks much better with the tour pack removed, however, you need an iron butt because the darn thing aint very comfortable.
