Default JUST CAN"T WIN

You just can't think of everything!! Bought the premium leather tour pak for my street glide along with all the detachable gearand decided to go with the tall boy touring seat. So far so good. Put it all together and decided, why not add the rear speakers. Well ,I am told that they are the same model as the regular tour pak takes!! Wrong, the holes dont line up. So out comes the drill and boom, fixed. Not so fast.Now the detachable tour pak is hell to get off because(unknown to me) the rear seat is way taller than the CVO seat. Therefore the speakers are so tight against the passenger seat it takes 2 grown men to get it off. [:@][:@] Problem is, I like the Tallboy seat alot because it pushes you away from the tank and the rear seat is super comfy for my wife!! So if ya see me at bike week struggling to get the detachable tour pak off, get a good laugh[sm=laughat.gif] then get the HELL over there[sm=escape.gif] and help this idiot get the tour pak off...... I will buy you a beer !!![sm=icon_cheers.gif]

DI, I was wondering where you got your graphics? Are they paint or stick on?
Thanks in advance!

Ride Safe,

Mike

Nice looking ride!!

Do you have a picture of your bike w/ the Tallboy seat installed?

Looking for the same seat but concerned about the change of the current look.
