Lightbulb Convert Trike to a Freewheeler

I have a 2007 HD Ultra Classic with a DFT Trike Kit.... I want to chop the back of the trike kit and make it into a Freewheeler style bike. Remove the tour pack and back seat back rest. Has anyone done anything like this with their trike? What where your obstacles and issues if any?

There are kits that enable quick detach of the tour pack.

Are they specific for the DFT kits?

We haven't been able to locate a contact number for DFT Trikes....only places that sell and install the kits. Anyone have a contact number for them?

I found a number for them (630) 543-5533. Not sure if it is current. Had a DFT kit on a 03 Sportie years ago, Liked it and they were good to deal with.

What model DFT do you have? This is my wife's former DFT trike with me on the back.
