Thanks Harleypingman, you are right the next one will be easier.

Ok, finally got enough of the RTV removed so that a bigger hammer actually worked. I'm so glad I wasn't paying H-D to do this conversion but when it comes to the wiring I may have to give in. Off to the painter.

Finish now I'll do my wife's trike.

Trey, congrats on the installation; looks great with those bright LED's across all three panels.

So how much time would you estimate it took to get the old Ultra light bar off?  And how difficult were the wiring tasks required for the install?

Carl, since that was the first one I did I was all a%^ and elbows. The (I sheet) was very poor in it's directions compare to past (I sheets) on more difficult installs. Cutting that RTV away was a pain, my buddy painted it for me in a day. This was the first time he ever said pick it up tomorrow and it was ready tomorrow  . Hey beggars can't be choosy  I would say the next one that I do if I didn't have to paint would be 4 hours. But this one I started on Tuesday worked Wednesday and finished on Thursday . If it wasn't for this forum and the help you get from everyone I was still be in my hot garage  . Having a service manual in very important now a days, did you notice that the drill bits they want you to use are metric sizes now

Install of the new LED lights on the Tour-Pak is finished  ... but I will remove again to seal previously existing holes. (once I figure out what to use) I'm very happy with the new look. (Got to be honest here, haven't hooked up the wiring 'cause I've been for one of you "smarter than I" people to figure out how to make the luggage rack light work as a brake light too.) Guess I'm really not finished am I.

 Had mine done by the dealer, I have a detachable tourpak so I had the tech deal with the wiring  so far so good i like the fact that my blinkers can be seen. I've been asking hd for 7 yrs, "why doesn't the tourpak lights have blinkers"
