I miss the detachable tour-pak on my Road Glide, because that made clean-up a lot easier. I'm considering converting the tour-pak on the Ultra Classic for the same reason, but I wonder if it will be a pain dealing with the wires every time I want to take it off. For now, I just remove the saddlebags and that gives me access for cleaning. I use the S100 spray cleaner on wash day which makes cleaning easier, and HD detail spray between washes.
