Removed the tour-pak after our ride last night. Took about 15 minutes to take eveything apart. This was the first time I did it, so I would think the time to disassemble will go down with practice. The part number for the detach kit is 53246-09. I went with the Badlander seat, all the wires tuck in easily under the seat. The only thing I do not like is the detachable hardware seems a little out of place with the tour-pak off. I'm picking up the covers from HD to go over the docking points to maybe help this (part number 48171-09). Laydown license plate bracket is HD. Saddlebag guards are removed for a cleaner look. Hawg-wired amp and component speakers took care of the amp issue under the tour-pak.

My file size must be too large to include the picture under the post. Here is another view.

View from the left side.

Last one.

110 mofo - dealer installed - charged 4 hours labor. Didn't think that was too bad.

Looks really good Buckeye. That's the look I like best on my '05 SEEG.

Looks great Buckeye! Waiting on mine to get in...Hows it ride? Best of luck!

Buckeye,
Wow, I love it. As you can see I have the same bike......you have inspired me! One question though.....did the load weight limit decrease with the detach setup. As you know the load limit in 09 increased due to the stronger bracing and frame. I would suspect the detach setup impacts this. If yes I would think the install instructions would say so.......did they?
Also HD makes the magnet covers for the detach hardward on the rear.....it really cleans up the look.
I love what you did. Might keep me from having to buy a second bike, buddy! I also had the 05 seeg.
Congrats
Warren

Did you keep the CB/Intercom functional? How do you reconnect the CB antenna when the TP goes back on?

Sting
That is the one downfall of the detach kit is that you lose the CB / intercom function with the pak off. The CB wiring runs up the right side of the bike and has a plug inside the pak to connect. The intercom connection snaps off and on and easily is reinstalled when the pak is put back on. I have never used a CB so I'm going to leave the wiring rolled up under the seat and not worry about re-connecting it. One less connection to make.

I just went through the install and I did not see any mention of the load capacities. I guess that would be a dealer question. I actually have 3 bikes, soon to be 2. Just sold a custom 2004 Victory Vegas and for the need for staight-line speed I just completed a 2007 Night Rod Special project. Motor went to Vance and Hines for machining and big-bore. Now has 145 HP, fast-straight-1/4 mile. It's alot of fun, but that's a whole different topic. I can't say enough about the CUSE. Waiting to see what the true-dual systems look like from V & H / Rinehart to make a decision on exhaust. V & H just upgraded their website with a few other options, no true dual yet. Thanks.

Sounds like you are having LOTS of fun. I am going to keep the 2 into 1 into 2 stock system for now and just put on slip ons and a super SERT. I did ask the dealer this morning on the weight issue and he says it does not impact any load capacity. He estimated the installed on the detach between 4 and 5 hours. That would mean 45 hours for me to do it. :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2: Did the dealer do your hog tunes install as well? I am told there is a quick connect for the cb system as well when you put the tour pak back on. I know someone (Chief) who did it on his 07.
thanks

Buckeye,
You have definitely done a great job on that bike! Wow! Very impressed! Congrats!
Warren, when are you doing yours?

Wow that looks great. Reminds me of my SEEG. If you go touring how long will it take to reinstall? the pak??

The dealer did the Hawg-wired amp setup for me also. I was charged 4 hours labor to complete the detach system including the amp rewiring. Also by having them do it at the time of purchase, all the work is covered under warranty, so if I lose power to something in the tour-pak and I have good connections it is their issue. They did install a quick-disconnect in my tour-pak for the CB.
-
So the Q/D for the cb is a separate item from the T/P Q/D?
-
Wow that looks great. Reminds me of my SEEG. If you go touring how long will it take to reinstall? the pak??
My guess is 15 minutes. There are 3 plugs in the tour-pak, the 2 rear speaker plugs, the heated seat plug under the seat, CB connection, the intercom connection to snap back in place and reinstall the stock seat. A buddy of mine has a standard Ultra and he does his in 10 minutes. The biggest deal wth it will be taking your time to make sure the pak is lined up correctly to slide on the detach points. I open the saddlebags just to be safe the tops don't get scatched.
-
So the Q/D for the cb is a separate item from the T/P Q/D?
I never asked the question if it was a separate item, they just took care of it without an additional charge. They had told me I would lose CB with the detach kit, but when I picked it up, the tech said he installed the disconnect so I would have it if I wanted it.

Striped down that bike is the CHIT!!!!!! Looks great.

Mi amigo Buckeye...it looks great !!! I will do the same for my CUSE......I also noticed that you changed the windshield....it matchs the sporty looks!!

I used the 4" smoked windshield I had on my '05 SEEG. The stock height was right in my line of sight. I'm considering getting the quick-detach hardware for the lowers so when I strip it down, I take it all the way, but still undecided on that one. Thanks for the comments.

I thought in doing the same.....again it looks great :2vrolijk_21:

looks good.
Here is my newbie question:
So what do you do with the amplifier? Obviously there is no place to put it so it has to be removed. Is there some special wiring harness in the kit that lets you loop back the feed to the front speakers so the radio will still work?
-
Now thats what I'm taking about!!!!!!!!!!
Great Job!!!!!!!!!!

You go with an aftermarket amp mounted on top of the radio under the fairing. After I did some research and asked some questions on this site, there is no doubt that products from Hawg-Wired are the way to go. They cost a few bucks but their quality and construction make them worth it. They have different systems so you can amplify all four speakers or just the front 2 or add speakers in your glove boxes. If you go with their amps you also have to change out your speakers to a 4 ohm unit. Do a search on the topic and you will find several posts regarding amplifier relocation. Good Luck.

Weamdog, you have the option of no amp at all.....just take off the stock one. It depends on how much into to music at 80 mph you are I guess. No doubt the quality/loudness, etc will be affected somewhat but I doubt my deaf ears could tell much of a difference.
-
It looks very "clean" stripped down like that. Good job!
-
Buckeye,
The bike looks awesome, love the color and the mods. As you know I did the same on my 06' FLHTCUSE and have not looked back. By the way, the kickstand looks just about the right length with that brick under it.

Holy chit - that picture sure shows the problem. "Lean angle while on kickstand" must not have been a design criteria for the new frame or line item on the "obvious chit - common sense" checksheet! :oops:
-
Just reinstalled my tour-pak for the first time. Took 18 minutes and very simple. you are exactly right, Tom, the paving brick I cut on an angle stands the bike up where it needs to be. I'll have to keep it in my saddlebag.

great. thanks for the info buckeye and flyingwillie. now i'll have to wait til the next time i can get 20% off since this is an expensive upgrade.

I picked up a Sidekick seat, but I had to send it back. The CVO tank console must be shorter than the standard Ultra because the seat did not cover the wires that run under the console. It was about 3/4" short. The description from HD is that it fits all '08 and later touring models. I am now taking the Badlander seat to a local company to have them cut down the seat so it blends into the tank / console for a smooth transition instead of running up onto the console. I'll post pics when completed.

Dang Buck, you are an overachiever...Now I got mo monee spent...Your bike looks great...I bought the tp pop off kit but it'll wait to put it on til you reserch the seat thing out...Thanks for setting the bar. ;) :D

Nice looking bike! I have a 09 EG Classic and was wondering how you relocated your license plate. Mine is attached to the tour pak.

The Badlander seat came back and looks pretty good. I also ordered a Danny Grey solo seat. When the solo seat comes in, I'll post pictures of both.

Thanks. The license plate bracket is part of the detach kit from HD.
Not in my kit. The laydown license bracket is a separate purchase. It will fit the detach system but it is not part of it. For those of you are considering this conversion I suggest you have the dealer do it unless you have lot's of time and all the tools to do it. I do so I will complete it. The install instructions are not even close so be warned. ...typical hd crap. The part no. posted earlier in this thread is not exactly for the SEUC so some alignment adjustments are required. Taking the amp overlay harness off takes patience as well. Right now my bike looks nothing like a bike but I am sure I will be pleased with the final result. I would have posted progress photos but the wife is on a trip (China) with the camera. Let me know if you want advice.

PS: one very disappointing observation is all the "made in China" labels you will se when you do this conversion...most of which are under the fairing. So I assume 90+% of the electrical is China made. So much for the "American legend" thing. Subconsciously I knew it had to be but it's a bummer seeing the numerous labels. Just pisses me off....can you tell?

The laydown bracket is by Kuryakyn. The support for the bracket is part of the kit so that the license plate bracket is not attached to the TP. My earlier post was a little misleading.

The wife comes home tomorrow nite with the camera and since my hawg wired parts don't arrive til Friday I should be able to snap a couple of pics of what the bike looks like now with all the wiring harnesses exposed etc.....not a pretty site. Not a hard conversion just takes time and patience cause the HD parts do not fit exactly right. >:( >:( >:(

Willie,
I too had alignment issues when doing the detachable tour pak and Hawg Wired "Four In The Face" conversion on my 06' FLHTCUSE. One of the issues I had was the alignment of the (docking hardware, front and rear, along with the original tour pak rail and rail cover so that everything would bolt back into the frame properly. What a pain in the booty and the docking kit instructions (front and rear on the 06') were horrendous. I found the removal of the amp and overlay harness fairly straight forward, but as you say time consuming. As I understand it the docking hardware kit for the 09' has changed to include front and rear docking points on one bracket. I don't know if that will be any simpler to install or not. All I can say is make sure you have the right tools and the patience to do the job as Willie stated. The end result is well worth the time and effort.

Tom,thanks the hard part is behind me...and thanks a MILLION to Jerry (Buckeye) for his help and advice...he was the pioneer for us on this one. I owe him BIG time. All I have left to do is the hawg wired install and then button everything up....hopefully! It has been a learning experience for me and my dealership since HD parts is behind the 09 bikes a few months. But I will be happy and I have learned a ton on this....and yes I called myself stupid several times. I will wrap it up this weekend and hopefully post some pics. I have had fun.

Are you refering to the covers over the docking points, or something else? I put the part # in HD search and nothing returned.
-
the covers over the docking points
the covers, and yes, these covers should go over the four points docking bracket, and they are hard to find, but, if you call a parts person they can look them up on the network and they will come up, and you will need them...
-
Maybe this is what you're referring too? Page 389, 2009 Parts and Accessories Cat., Item C? Part No. 48171-09??
-
nope, those are the little magnetic cup like covers that go over the docks..

On mine thats all you need ...... the little magnetic covers...$39.95 for a set of 4. They work great. Not sure what you are talking about....probably because no one can find them. :huepfenlol2:
BTW I also used the magnetic covers to go over the end of the black saddlebag support that now stick out slightly in front of the saddlebags....after you take off the crash bars. HD (or at least my dealer) does not have the new version of chrome saddlebag supports that still allow you to keep the color matched filler strips between fender and saddlebag. So I have a temp solution.

Henry, you are right about Hd-dude (Jim). I got my Hawg wired amp and speakers from him for the conversion. He was very helpful and patient with me. Here is a pic of the conversion in process. I have finished it but don't want to post pics until I have the new seat and Clearview shield on it.

I bought a stock 09 street glide seat on ebay that was a take off from a new bike. It is much lower profile than the stock SEUC seat.....which actually looks wierd on the bike without the tour pak etc.
Another pic of the bike in process. That is me holding the long Harman/Kardon amp overlay harness that has to be removed. (for sale btw). After all was buttoned up I am only missing one tool....I am sure it is in the fairing somewhere! :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:

I like this one....what do you think?
Sidekick® Seat
Share your custom ride. The two-up design of these premium cowhide leather seats offers a frame-hugging look, but adds back support for the rider, and additional padding for the passenger. The custom seating surface and the hand-laid fiberglass seat base show attention to detail second to none.

This question is for Warren, Buckeye, Tom and those who have installed the TP detachable kit.......(Sorry for the ignorance)
What are my options if I don't want to install the aftermarhet amp (e.g. Hawg wired) in the fairing? What do I do with HK amp which comes with the bike? I don't want to run the 7ft harness every time that I take the TP on/off.............any advise?
Thanks........................ :nixweiss:

Jorge, first re the Sidekick seat. I believe Jerry ( Buckeye) had a fitment issue on that seat when he tried it initially.
Now for your amp question. You can run without an amp at all. You told me earlier that you were not into music much anyway. You will still have sound but not as amplified as before. I only opted to amp my front speakers with the HW amp and new front speakers....which sound great btw. You do NOT want to keep the stock amp because it won't fit the new detach rack anyway. So you will have to take the fairing off to unhook the harness. While in there might as well hook up the HW amp and two front speakers IMO. It is easy....just make sure you put the new amp as far back on top of the radio as possible so the fairing will fit back on.....I learned this the hard way. >:(

Warren..I've got to post this... :worthless:

Jorge, first re the Sidekick seat. I believe Jerry ( Buckeye) had a fitment issue on that seat when he tried it initially.
Now for your amp question. You can run without an amp at all. You told me earlier that you were not into music much anyway. You will still have sound but not as amplified as before. I only opted to amp my front speakers with the HW amp and new front speakers....which sound great btw. You do NOT want to keep the stock amp because it won't fit the new detach rack anyway. So you will have to take the fairing off to unhook the harness. While in there might as well hook up the HW amp and two front speakers IMO. It is easy....just make sure you put the new amp as far back on top of the radio as possible so the fairing will fit back on.....I learned this the hard way. >:(

Thanks mi amigo Warren...............stupid question: Can I install or place the HK amp in the fairing and be amp only the front speakers?

I picked up a Sidekick seat, but I had to send it back. The CVO tank console must be shorter than the standard Ultra because the seat did not cover the wires that run under the console. It was about 3/4" short. The description from HD is that it fits all '08 and later touring models. I am now taking the Badlander seat to a local company to have them cut down the seat so it blends into the tank / console for a smooth transition instead of running up onto the console. I'll post pics when completed.
Yes, you are right mi amigo.....Thanks.
-
Thanks mi amigo Warren...............stupid question: Can I install or place the HK amp in the fairing and be amp only the front speakers?
Not a stupid question at all.....very logical. BUT I do not think it will fit in the fairing (it's much bigger than the HW amp) and you would have to cut up the overlay harness on the H/K one. If you order the HW amp (and matching speakers) keep in mind that he is in Calif. and it will take about a week to get them (unless you pay for express shipping). Jim gives CVO members a discount as you know. My total for the amp and two speakers was just over $600. His valuable advice is included. :2vrolijk_21:

You go with an aftermarket amp mounted on top of the radio under the fairing. After I did some research and asked some questions on this site, there is no doubt that products from Hawg-Wired are the way to go. They cost a few bucks but their quality and construction make them worth it. They have different systems so you can amplify all four speakers or just the front 2 or add speakers in your glove boxes. If you go with their amps you also have to change out your speakers to a 4 ohm unit. Do a search on the topic and you will find several posts regarding amplifier relocation. Good Luck.
Mi amigo Buckeye...the HD system is 4 ohm? An the HW 4 ohm as well?
-
Mi amigo Buckeye...the HD system is 4 ohm? An the HW 4 ohm as well?
I believe the stock HD system is 2 ohm and the stock speakers need to be upgraded to 4 ohm to go with the Hawg-Wired setup. The sidekick seat just did not fit snug to the console and I was not happy with it. The Danny Gray is a perfect fit.

I like it Warren. I have some little HD seat for mine....sundowner....or---sidekick---Not sure...BUT..still end up with the stock seat on it a lot. It's just more comfortable.

Thanks again mi amigo...I just was checking the Danny Grey seat and I liked this one:
SPEEDCRADLE™ SOLO
Features
Designed for added stability and control in high-speed situations, heavy crosswinds and turbulent environments
Seat pushes you down and forward approximately 2 inches
Pronounced rise at the seat tip helps to lock rider in saddle to mitigate torso torque and loss of control
-
Jorge,
Just a reminder that the consoles on the CVO Ultras are shorter than on non-CVO Ultras so make sure the seat fitment is correct otherwise you will have a gap between the console and the seat. I believe several members have experienced this problem. As far as the stock HK amp is concerned you should remove it completely along with the overlay harness and run your existing 2 ohm speakers with the stock HK radio (like a non-CVO Ultra Classic), but as Warren stated if you purchase any Hawg Wired amplifier you will need to replace the stock speakers with 4 ohm speakers to match the impedance of the amp.

Thanks mi amigo Tom....so in another words. The front speakers will work without amp and when the TP is on the four speakers will work as well, right?
And about the seat according to the pic posted by Buckeye his seat is the BUTTCRACK™ SOLO and he stated that fits perfectly so I assume that the SPEEDCRADLE™ SOLO will do as well.......

Jorge,
Yes, two front speakers will function without the auxiliary amp (under tour pak) and all four will function with the tour pak attached. I would still call Danny Gray to make sure about the fit of the SpeedCradle Solo seat as I do not see a listing in their fitment matrix for Screamin Eagle Ultra Classics only non-Screamin Eagle FLHT models.

Yes mi amigo Tom....I would like to call them up but I couldn't find the Danny Grey official website but the inofrmation in the "fatbook" from Drag Specialties. Another thing was that Buckeye got his "Butcrack" on ebay from American Classic Motors listed for the Street Glide (FLHX). See reply #84

I called them to verify that the seat would fit. The add was for "touring" models and was shown on a flhx. I confirmed with them that the seat could be returned if it did not fit. Some places are funny about seats and returning them.

I just received an answer from JOE MAJOR (American Classic Motors) stating that they have the SPEEDCRADLE for $240 and free shipping. So I just asked him about if fits my bike. The difference between yours (BUTTCRACK I believe) and the SPEEDCRADLE is minimum, both are solo seat type, is only the design................ I can't call them since I am still out of the country. Let's see what he answers. BTW would you have the ref number so I can take the equivalent in the model that I want?

The laydown bracket is by Kuryakyn. The support for the bracket is part of the kit so that the license plate bracket is not attached to the TP. My earlier post was a little misleading.

can't wait to ride it and see how it handles without the extra weight. The flhx seat is hard so that will take some getting used to.....and I will need a matching back rest. But so far I really like the look and feel (after a quick ride around the block today).
I enjoyed doing the work on it as it gives me a greater sense of "ownership". This will be my favorite....so far! :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:

Okay, here is a good photo of the completed project. One thing i'm disappointed with is the Kuryakyn Tune Trapper, it isn't worth $5. I would imagine that my signal is about 50% less then with the stock antenna which by the way the relocator kit does not work on the '09s because of the filler panel between the saddle bag and the fender. The good thing about the conversion is I can no take my hands off the controls when stopped at a light. I'd imagine that the seat puts me about 3-4" closer to the ground. The only things left to do are the exhaust "enhancement", new air cleaner and a power commander if they ever get their act together for the '09s.

Bike looks awesome!!!! :2vrolijk_21:
I have the rubber ducky antenna and had noticed reduced reception in rural areas with it. But I don't use the radio that much anymore (Zumo/MP3's). Unless the radio stations have really strong signals, you are close to them, or not in a area w/a lot of trees I think the only thing that works really like it should is the OEM whip antenna. :nixweiss:

Weamdog, looks great...nice job. I went the the flhx seat, what did you put on? I also put the Tune Trapper in but I usually use my xm anyway. I have be out of town since my conversion and have not even tried the radio. I boogered up the xm antennae somehow when I was wrestling with the new amp on top of the radio module so I will have to go back in the fairing when I get home next week. ugh! :oops: :oops: >:( >:(

This is called the low profile bucket seat (52095-08), it's in the catalog, but not on the corp site. it doesn't follow the lines of the bike as much, but with the low sissy bar it looks okay. I haven't even activated my xm, was going to wait for summer to get the most out of my free 6 months or whatever it is. I'll probably get a zumo eventually and use that as the XM receiver as soon as i can find the perfect way to mount it so that it looks like part of the bike.
Oh, I just remembered, another thing that kinda has me a little mad is Harley had no plastic on the fender where the edges of the stock seat touched the fender and now I have lots of scratch marks. If i can't get them out I'll have to tell them i want a new fender. They are really visible with the new seat so i would suggest if anyone is thinking about doing this conversion they may want to check protect this area before it gets too bad.
There are many more pictures of the bike in it's converted state in my virtual garage.

Dave, nice job :2vrolijk_21: I REALLY like the clean look of the licence plate setup.
I assume you did some drilling? It looks a ton better than the kit set up. Is it Kuryakyn? Where are the monster ovals your wife bought you???? :-*
-
No drilling required. The holes are already there from the reflector. I just needed to ad a small LED for the license plate light. The monster Ovals arrived and left the same day. I had already ordered the CFR's and after hearing and seeing the Monster ovals on someone elses bike they were not what I wanted and I already had the others coming.
Now I just need to figure out which header to use. I am leaning toward V&H new power dual. Then the super sert and my zippers max flow air cleaner.

Removed the tour-pak after our ride last night. Took about 15 minutes to take eveything apart. This was the first time I did it, so I would think the time to disassemble will go down with practice. The part number for the detach kit is 53246-09. I went with the Badlander seat, all the wires tuck in easily under the seat. The only thing I do not like is the detachable hardware seems a little out of place with the tour-pak off. I'm picking up the covers from HD to go over the docking points to maybe help this (part number 48171-09). Laydown license plate bracket is HD. Saddlebag guards are removed for a cleaner look. Hawg-wired amp and component speakers took care of the amp issue under the tour-pak.
Resized the photo for you, to fit on the screen. You want to resize them to about 800x600 in order to fit on the screen.
That's a really nice looking bike without the tour pack.

Hi I am new to forum Terra (Dale) I just purchased new 2009 screamin eagle CUSE and want to do just what you did except make the tour pak detachable or is yours? Heard could be a lot of problems with bushings on mounts cracking? Your antenna move quick release or not for radio? Did it look like crap with heated original seat left on bike why you went to badlander seat? thanks for your help or any advise...dealer here in Luisville did not want to mess withit due to amp...wanted to put in side saddlebag and drill hole...did not want that done to bike!

Nice lawn. Oh yeah, the bike looks awesome too. It would be nice if they came detachable from the factory, but as it is, it looks too pricey to do all of that, especially after I just got done with all the wiring to change the lighting in the tourpack. I'd like the option to remove it, but I had a removable on my last bike and I only took it off twice and missed the space immediately.
-
I took my bike in to have the tour pack removed and much to my chagrin, the local HD dealer said it would take nine hours and I would definitely lose my radio if I removed the power amp. At $90+ / hour plus parts, I said no. I did not feel very encouraged with their willingness to do the job. Then they said there was not a parts kit for the SE so it cannot be done without great effort. :confused5:
I may do this myself. After all the great pics here, I sure like the look and dropping the weight when I don't need the tour pack would also be a big plus. I am, let's say, very dissappointed. >:(

Did it look like crap with heated original seat left on bike why you went to badlander seat? thanks for your help or any advise...dealer here in Luisville did not want to mess withit due to amp...wanted to put in side saddlebag and drill hole...did not want that done to bike!
I have had no problems with my bushings. My antennae is now inside the fairing (tune trapper). Yes, the bike without the tour-pak does not look right at all with the couch seat on it. It needs to have a lower profile seat to complete the look, in my opinion. Sorry about your dealer not helping you out. I have posted the labor I was charged in an earlier post.

I have added the Kuryakyn curved license plate, laydown tail light lens, forged billet air cleaner cover with S.E. 110 medallion, race tuner and Klock werks flare windshield since last pics. I'll post pics tomorrow. Bike ran great in Daytona. Couldn't be happier.

Excellent post guys - has anyone summarized the part number required? Do I need to purchase the 70032-09 relocation harness if I am going to remove the CVO amp and go with something in the fairing? Any updated pix? :worthless:
-
No drilling required. The holes are already there from the reflector. I just needed to ad a small LED for the license plate light. The monster Ovals arrived and left the same day. I had already ordered the CFR's and after hearing and seeing the Monster ovals on someone elses bike they were not what I wanted and I already had the others coming.
Now I just need to figure out which header to use. I am leaning toward V&H new power dual. Then the super sert and my zippers max flow air cleaner.
Nice job on plate, what is the Kury. part number, thanks in advance.

FlyingWillie, what did you do to keep the filler strips, when you replaced the crash bars? I think I may have sent you another message about this earlier today. Has HD come out with an updated support kit the allows retention of the filler strips? Part#? Thanks

I responded to your email but I simply kept the stock saddlebag supports after I took off the rear crash bars. You are left with a slightly protruding black end (just in front of the saddlebag) but I covered that with the HD chrome magnetic covers.....same ones you use on the docking points. Looks pretty good and save me some $$$$. It also let me retain the filler strips. Hope that helps. FYI, I have not had the tp on since I removed it last year! I love the nimble ride too much.

Took the lowers off last night to give the Ultra a complete stripped-down look. Also since my last picture I have added the Kuryakyn curved plate mount, red signals, air-cleaner cover with 110 medallion and klock-works windshield. I like the look and can have it back to full Ultra trim in 20 minutes.

One more. The next step is to change the wheels to a set of Renegades. If anyone is interested in the Roulettes with front rotors and tires let me know.
-
Buckeye, looks like you gave up the filler strips after you change the saddle bag supports. Is that true? I tried installing HD chrome ones today and they would not attach the filler strips. If not, what did you do to keep them? Send pics if you have them. THanks
-
As you can see, I didn't give up the strips. The second pic shows the clamp purchased from Lowes, at least the best I can get.

Clamps

Looks good to me
-
Buckeye, thanks for the pics. I know I am asking a lot, but would you be willing to take a few more pics w/o the saddle bags on so that I can more clearly see the clamps you used and where and how you used them to attach the filler strips? Also, where at Lowes did you find the clamps you mentioned? Thanks so much.
-
Buckeye,
What kind of mufflers are those, and what kind of sound do you get out of them. I really like the looks.

They are from CFR (Cary Faas Racing). They have a low tone, not too harsh unles you stand on it. At cruising speed I don't think they are that bad. You can easily hear the radio and talk to your passenger. I got them from Wesley at Biker's Image out of Texas. Very good people to deal with.

The picture is of a second set of clamps that I bought. As you will see, I only installed one bolt. It works fine without the second bolt installed.

I don't remember the isle they were in but just go through the electrical stuff and you will find them.

Another view of the clamp.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Outstanding. Now I can do it the way I wanted using the chrome supports. I really appreciate you taking those extra pics and sending them out.

No problem. Hope it works out for you.

Removed the tour-pak after our ride last night. Took about 15 minutes to take eveything apart. This was the first time I did it, so I would think the time to disassemble will go down with practice. The part number for the detach kit is 53246-09. I went with the Badlander seat, all the wires tuck in easily under the seat. The only thing I do not like is the detachable hardware seems a little out of place with the tour-pak off. I'm picking up the covers from HD to go over the docking points to maybe help this (part number 48171-09). Laydown license plate bracket is HD. Saddlebag guards are removed for a cleaner look. Hawg-wired amp and component speakers took care of the amp issue under the tour-pak.
Which seat is this ?
Badlander ?

Yes.

THXS ,
what`s your height and inse.......m ::) ?
Is it comfortable for you or just good looking?
-
Here's another slight variation.
-
THXS , this seat looks really cool , the two up seats never catched my eyes before , but when i saw this Badlander , cool .
But with which height and inseam is it comfortable ( because of knee angle ),
and do you feel the ground because of the thin pad ?
Is it leather or vinyl ?
How is the fit ?

I am 6'0" with a 32" inseam. Comfort is OK, nothing special, but it does look good. I believe the seating surface is leather but not for sure. The fit is good although I don't like the way it runs up over the tank console. I had mine cut back by a local guy to fit tight to the console like a road king seat.

A little more detail an clearer pic on antenae relocation, are they stock HD, did you keep the fillers, do you plug into tourpack reinstalling with the grommets or have are they extensions with connectors?
Thanks in advance.

I'll have to take a better picture. Eliminated the filler strips (which I was unsure about at first) but now really like. Bought the shorty Harley Antennas and they're plugged into extensions with connectors.

It is an aftermarket stereo set up with amp(s) and speakers.
There is a member that sells these kits at a discount for our members. I believe it is hd-dude. You can PM him here at: http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=619
Here are two of the most popular for the conversion:

There are a ton of posts on this topic and a lot to read on with different stereo options.

Wow, these CUSEs look awesome!

Just wanted to take a moment and say thanks to those on this thread. The feedback here was the inspiration for me making the tourpak on my 2010 SEUC detachable.
I used the GA relocation bracket to make it more comfortable for my wife when the TP is attached. I also used the antenna bracket from the 2009 SERG to attached my AM/FM antenna when the TP is detached. I bought a second SERG chrome antenna bracket and gently bent it in reverse to use as my CB antenna bracket. It worked perfect and let's me use the CB whether the TP is attached or detached.
I tried the HD "Shorty" antennas but both the AM/FM and CB reception were incredibly poor. I received almost no AM/FM and the CB distance was dramatically reduced. I returned them after a single trip and went back to the stock antennas which get great reception even when the TP is detached.
I find now that I have the new headset from HD that can be used with a half helment (hangs over the ears) that I use the CB with the guy's I ride with so having access to the CB is now something I use alot more.
All-in-all it was a great project and I'm definitely glad I made the TP detachable. Here's my thread on the conversion with pics. http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=45226.0
