How often do you guys ride without your tour pack, I have not had mine on in a while and love the lighter weight but also miss the rear speakers LOL

I only put it on when I have a passenger.
I prefer the ways the bike feels without it.

Only had mine off once, like the convenience and storage

Whenever am about to take a trip it's on. Unless I get lazy and then it stays on. Actually my ride is FLHXS.

off

moved the trunk speakers to the lowers with some “adapters” and fabricated some antenna holders so nothing is lost besides the trunk storage space (and its weight)

Mine is always off unless I have a passenger which is extremely rare for me nowadays. The bike runs, handles, and rides so much better without that extra weight. As far as the sound quality goes, I don't even notice the rear speakers missing, but I do have Polk 6.5s in the fairing with the HD stage 1 boom amp.

Mine is almost always on. I'd miss the storage. I don't really notice the weight, but I do notice the larger profile in a cross wind.

Mine's never off, I'd feel naked without it, lol. One day I'll make it removable.
