Tour Pack Quick Release I need your input..
When I added a tour-pack to my Standard, I added the docking hardware. I like the looks with out it but when I put it on, I also added wiring which requires popping the seat off to disconnect. It is actually a lot more convenient for trips and having all my **** with me. I can also pop it off if necessary but that isn't often. Guess it all comes down to what YOU want.

I have a 2011 Ultra Limited. I'm considering the Tour Pack Quick Release. HD says without the tour pack it handles easier. The cost of materials and labor is about $800 ish.... If you have this what are your experiences with it such as easy to take off and put back on, any regrets about the purchase? Is it worth the expense? Thanks.

$600, R U kiddin? unscrew the silly thing when you need/want & buy your friends 15 keggs!
Honestly the price is just silly, my first luggage bag came with quick release, I never used it, I also don't go over 90!
Your call.

Ultra to StreetGlide
I added the detachable TP, quick disconnects for the lowers and the adjustable BaggerShield. This allows me to convert from an Ultra to a Streetgluide in about three minutes. It wasn't cheap but I love the versatility. I included a before (Ultra), After (Streetglide) and the detached parts. The Bike also does handle a little better with the TP off, but I did it mainly for the style.

If you can post them into your photo gallery you could just supply a link here. In the long term that is good practice, especially when you find you're posting the same pic more than once (it happens)!

Spend the money, you will not be disappointed. You will have two different bike for the price of the quick detach and a new seat. I did it to my 2010.5 Screamin' Eagle Ultra classic Dark Side Edition. It took some work with moving all the wiring and such. Put a badlander seat on her and put quick detach on the lowers as well.... What a difference. I'll see if I can figure out how to post pictures.

I also did it and also bought the sissy bar for the OL I love the way it handles and looks, I made connectors for the spoiler and lights, both ant are under the seat and just unpluged the ant from the radio the only thing i lost was the CB I put AM/FM ant under the fairing with XM ant and E-Z pass all work just fine, OL likes the TP better than the sissy bar

'03 RK detach tour pak - question for y'all
Howdy riders,
I've got an '03 Road King - I have the tour pak (purchased separately from the bike) and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend an aftermarket quick release set-up for the tour pak - or will I have to go with HD OEM parts?
Thanks
