the hd kit is the only one I have experience with.
it is great if you plan on tourpak on/tourpak off alot.
many riders take it off much of the year and put it on when packing for a trip, once or twice a year.
in that case it really only takes 30 minutes to unbolt and remove it, same to mount it back up-- at one point you will need a 3rd hand to help steady the tour pak on the mount.
cost= $0
wiring:
the antennas need to be relocated
the tour pak lighting
the stereo
most who remove the tour pak can roll up the wiring and tuck it under the seat.
I used the antenna relocate to put the antenna mount on the saddlebag mount, and use a stubby antenna. I just leave it like that with the tourpak on.
( I also made my own lighting harness from under the seat to the tour pak using a flat 4 trailer plug, I needed an extra hot wire for some accessories in the tourpak)
the plate mount and signal bar are from a 2010 road king
