From: '06UltraRider on 23 Apr 2010 19:59 Greetings, belly up, I'm buyin'. Haven't been here in a long while, glad to see some familiar faces. I have an '06 Ultra on which I'd like to remove the tour pak. I realize I'll lose the use of the communications and CB, as well as the rear speakers, but I seldom use any of that anyway. (I wudda bought a "regular" Classic, but I got this used for a GREAT bargain)! Anyway, is this a particularly technical undertaking? Will I find ugly mounting or weld tabs under the box? My goal is to do this without having to replace anything under the box. I just like the smooth back look, but I want to retain the option of putting it back on if the Mrs. wants to take a long ride or if/when I sell it. Thanks in advance, Drink up!

Thanks for the Bud Light. Don't know if this will help you, but I have a '99 Classic and wanted to do the same thing. However, I got a quick change mount for the tour pack instead of just doing away with it. That way it's relatively easy to take on and off. The Motor Company also makes a seat back you can attach in place of the tour pack, so your significant other won't fall off the back. And... you can keep the radio reception with a rubber duck antenna, which is very unobtrusive. Enjoy. Al

Maybe not the most amazing method but, when I did it to my Road Glide 12 years ago, I did it like this: http://www.xidos.ca/Technical/DoItYourselfCustomization/AntennaRelocationMethod/tabid/101/Default.aspx Thanks for the drink.
