I have 2 ultra bikes. One bike is the 2007 and the other bike is FHLTK 2011. Both have the quick detach. I like riding without the sofa chair (Tour PAK). I only use it when my wife wants to ride with me. Without the sofa chair or the tourpak, it looks like a street glide. I changed the rear tail light to a street glide bullet turn signal and put a Rear Fender Fascia skirt filler panel 59739-09. If you want a pic of the rear, I can post it. Let me know what you think? Look at my Avatar. Thats my other Ultra Classic 2007. The bottom one is the ultra classic limited 2011.

Like a lot of things, to each his own. I had the detachable tour-pak on my '08 Road Glide and could definitely notice the difference in how the bike felt with it off and with it on. But the reality was that it was such a handy accessory that I left it on 90 percent of the time. So now that I have an Ultra Classic, I have not seriously entertained the thought of converting it to detachable. That's a fairly expensive process, and I'm quite content to just leave it on permanently.

when I traded my 02 in it had over 65,000 mi. If I had to guess I would say the tp only had about 5,000. that was one of the first things I did to my 12, Limited, just a much more enjoyable ride in my opinion

detach
I leave mine off most of the time around town. I actually think it handles better with the tour-pak on...it feels balanced better but, it is heavier.In my opinion you have 2-bikes in one with the removable tour-pak so...why not?
