How To Remove the Tour Pack on a HARLEY DAVIDSON 14+ | Road Glide Refresh Project

[@Ed.Johnson]

Great seeing the different camera angles. Those filler pieces were plastic on mine. I installed the quick release so they were removed.

[@Touringmidwest]

Heck yeah Edward. I hope your weekend has been good man

[@BoDean52]

Like the option and upcoming series! Hope you and the boy had a great Christmas!

[@Touringmidwest]

Hey Bob, I appreciate you bro, Thank you. its been a pretty good weekend, Gavin is Happy so im happy 🙂

[@Doug_Morgan]

Drew I have a set if you can't get any down there. They come stock on reg RG's and SG's. If you do the quick attach kit then they go in those slots anyways.

[@Touringmidwest]

Yeah that is true, if I do the quick detach it would be filled, I did think of that after I uploaded this video lol. it would look nice but swapping back and forth wouldn't be real quick I guess

[@adamgruverman4629]

I ended up buying a tour pack for my Road Glide standard over a year ago and have yet to take it off. Its cool to have the option though.

[@Touringmidwest]

I know, I love having it and I'm sure I'll miss it when it's not on.

[@adamgruverman4629]

It's going to look good either way. It's a Road Glide after all. 👍🏻

[@user-ec8yr2oj3m]

Get man once removed the tourpack. Where did you munte The tags ?

[@Touringmidwest]

The license? It's mounted on the new rear fender.

[@Mik35959]

Where did you pit your plate

[@Touringmidwest]

I installed the dominator rear fender and that has a spot for the plate

[@fourftr]

Andrew been a subscriber back when you first bought your Road Glide. Your thoughts helped me buy my 2017 Road Glide Ultra. When I bought mine I had bought the detachable Tour Pack. Right now I have over 36 thousand on it and never had it off. 🤷‍♂️

[@Touringmidwest]

Lol.. I know, I love having the tour pack.

[@Britt1844]

Great video! Question: If you don't have the detachable tour pack yet, how & where would you mount the license plate?

[@Touringmidwest]

I got a different fender with a license plate mount. I’m sure there are other options out there.

[@SweetBack1946]

Greetings from the Philippines 🌴 Recently I bought a 2015 Ultra Limited used. It's now 12/11/24. I like the option of removing my tour pack for a SG look. You have really helped me to understand how to do it and sincerely thank you. Over here, I can ride 24/7. Again thank you for a wonderful tutorial on this topic. Please have a wonderful Christmas season!

[@isaacg3232]

Did you replace the bolts that were holding the tour pack mounting bracket, after removing the bracket?

[@Touringmidwest]

Yes

[@dustin829]

I am new to Harley and thinking of picking up an Electra Glide Ultra Classic. Is it the same process for that bike? thanks!

[@Touringmidwest]

@@dustin829 should be similar.. only difference may be dependent on model year.. older models may be somewhat different.

[@beebe1168]

What did you do to make the brake lights operable?

[@Touringmidwest]

I’m not understanding what you mean.. I didn’t do anything to make the brakes unoperable

[@dadandmad]

Awesome how to video Drew. I especially appreciated the different camera angles. Good job. Bike looks fantastic too.

[@Touringmidwest]

Thank you. Yeah the different angles are necessary for sure.

[@bm7760]

I have the same plan for my Ultra. Want to be able to quickly take it on and off but also fit a solo seat. Maybe a wee rack on the back. It'd all need to be quick-release though should I need to take somebody on the back.

[@Touringmidwest]

It’s good to have some versatility.

[@MikeGesus-kn5nm]

Where did you mount the icense plate ?

[@Touringmidwest]

I installed a different fender that has a license plate mount built into.. the Dominator from @advanblack

[@dschaefer1351]

Great video, thanks. (What are you going to do with the license plate?)

[@Touringmidwest]

I bought a Dominator rear fender

[@cindyrisner5731]

Very good explanation. Thought you needed a wiring mod to unplug all that ?

[@RoyHekkert]

Great video! What kind of rear taillight is that on your bike?

[@Touringmidwest]

Thank you.. it's the smoked pro beam from custom Dynamics

[@frenchy114]

I am curious, how you are going to mount your license plate if you don’t use your tour pack?

[@Touringmidwest]

Thats top secret until next Sunday 🙂

[@roadglide6250]

I did a quick connect conversion on my 2019 Road Glide Ultra. I pieced mine together instead of buying the Harley kit, saved about $250. Harley makes a license plate relocation mount that mounts to your tail light and sticks the plate straight up above the tail light. Basically the same spot as factory, just mounted to the fender/tail light instead of the bottom of the tour pack. I didn’t like the way this looks, throws off the lines/flow of the fender w/o the tour pac on. So I bought a curved mounting bracket off eBay, and a Ciro plate holder with the built in led light at the top. I mounted it below the taillight, and it looks great curved around the fender, then ran the wires for the light to taillight and spliced in. I took off the taillight and painted the clear window gloss black, but then put a chrome cover on it that covers the window anyway. Looks great, much better than stock whether tour pack is on or off.

[@coreypinnell]

I just bought a 2022 Road Glide Limited and I already have the detachable tour pack. Hope the original comes off and the detachable goes on as easily as you made it look.

[@lenframe]

Was it easy?

[@DeBa1226]

Have you checked out D and D Exhaust Billet Cat and 468 or 472 Red Shift cams, Sandavol, Lucky Lair, and a few others have been upgrading too? Reasonably priced and sounds outstanding.

[@Touringmidwest]

D&d fur sure.. I wanted to run a stubby cat or fat cat but now I'm thinking true duels.

[@DeBa1226]

@@Touringmidwest I’m with you. Not a fan of a dummy pipe, I know why they do it, but I’d rather have true duals without question.

[@keithrad1]

I've seen rubber strips designed to fill the slots but not sure where they got them.

[@Touringmidwest]

I think they come from the factory, not sure if you could find them aftermarket or something..

[@murphy3355]

Can you just take the trunk off still attached the the plate and just remove the bolts behind the bags???

[@Touringmidwest]

Hmmm possibly..

[@clintcarson7861]

What do you do for the license plate

[@Touringmidwest]

I got a rear fender with a license plate holder built into it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2eUmKx4g5mfpNE

[@dustinjohnson2116]

Where can you relocate your radio antenna

[@Touringmidwest]

I completely removed mine but I’ve seen people run it under the rear fender and up under the seat.. I think the only other option would be a hidden antenna inside the the fairing.

[@1lthrnk]

I’m looking at getting a quick release for the tour pack so if I want to be away for a while I have it. What would I be looking for, for an 2020 Electra Glide Ultra

[@Touringmidwest]

I got mine from HOGWORKZ and it's really good. Is this the BEST DOCK For Your Harley Bagger? | @HOGWORKZ 4 Point Docking Kit kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHm4eHaebtV3rpY

[@matthewbenn8613]

Thanks for the video, and of course you have to come up with another place to put your license plate if you decide you’re not going to have it on

[@Touringmidwest]

I have the Dominator fender from Advanblack now and that has a license plate holder built into it, that’s how I solved that dilemma.

[@TIMBHMAXX22]

hey great video, I know it's been a while i just found the video, what kind of seat is good to use when the tour pack is off? and what about the installation of the quick removal kit? thanks...

[@Touringmidwest]

I did a video on the quick detach 4point hardware. I just got the new raptor seat from advanblack but I've not ridden with it yet so I cannot say how comfortable it is.

[@VK-zt6sw]

Excellent video! Thank you!

[@Touringmidwest]

You are welcome, thank you for watching.

[@DeBa1226]

Danny Gray or Corbin low profile seat? Good stuff buddy!

[@Touringmidwest]

I'd love to be able to try some different seats.. I'm pretty gun shy about starting to throw money at seats.. I feel like it's Pandora's box lol

[@DeBa1226]

@@Touringmidwest Agree… that’s why I’ve always stuck with Corbin, I just don’t want to make a mistake and ride 500, 600 miles in a bad saddle!

[@HarleyDayRider]

I have been wanting to do the same thing. Thanks for showing the wires and how you just rolled them up. Now I am excited to see which detach kit you will use. Also, how did you remount the license plate? Ride Safe

[@Touringmidwest]

All will be revealed next video as far as the license plate goes :) I hope you had a great Christmas Jack, Have a blessed new year 🍻 to a great 2022🤞

[@keithrad1]

Seemed easier to me just to unbolt the brackets and remove the entire TP brackets and all. Once off it was easier to take the TP off the brackets and then line it up on the new support and then secure it. I was amazed at the weight when I picked it up. Hoping this will improve low speed handling and parking. After two RG Specials and over a decade of riding them, it was a shock to find out how much an inch in height and that 50 lbs. setting up so high can impact low speed and parking control. Would 12" shocks be a mistake?

[@Touringmidwest]

12 inch shocks will affect ride comfort and of course clearance, but I think it’s doable if that’s what you like.

[@christophergobell9885]

Street glide chrome strut fillers.

[@timallen1262]

Advan-Black has a nice looking seat that kinda inexpensive compared to other seats that I believe would look good without your tour pack on.

[@Touringmidwest]

I've been looking at that one a little bit, I'm not sold on the reptile stitch pattern though.. I'm waiting to see if they do a diamond stitch or something else. I don't know yet.

[@HDVIBE]

Looking forward to seeing where you take the Road Glide. Ride safe 👊👍🇺🇸

[@Touringmidwest]

I'm in the process of cleaning up my wiring from all of the zip tie short cuts I've made over the years lol.. It's gonna be nice and somewhat professional when I'm done but man... What a pain in the dick.

I have a 2015 Road Glide and am into refreshing my bike. Looking for replacement parts and accessories has been a little trying times. Do you strictly use Harley-Davidson accessories such as highway pegs, shift levers, mirrors etc. or do you use any aftermarket components? If so, who do you recommend. I researched many sites; Custom Dynamics, Dennis Kirk, and Kuryakyn just to name a few. I have also looked at accessories on Amazon but worry the prices are so low that the quality will suffer. The motorcycle parts suppliers I just mentioned seem to have prices that are all over the map. I guess my question is, who would you recommend to buy parts and accessories for my 2015 HD Road Glide that are decent quality but not overpriced? Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you

[@Touringmidwest]

It really depends on what your looking for. I use aftermarket parts mostly. Lighting I have run custom dynamics, ciro and my headlamp is currently Advanblack. Painted parts I’m running Advanblack and HOGWORKZ. Audio is from soundz bagger audio. Exhaust is tab performance. Really it just takes allot of research, finding parts your interested in and than looking to find reviews to see if it’s good quality, how to install, etc. Amazon is hit or miss, in most cases I’d say you get what you pay for. There’s allot of good companies out there and good parts it just comes down to your style and what you like. Oh and don’t let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn’t do to your bike.. It’s your bike, do what makes you happy.
