Parts required to make Ultra Limited quick disconnect rear trunk

I purchased a 2009 Ultra Classic in March. I added the detatch kit, backrest (and pad), and the in-the-fairing antenna. The detach kit has most everything you need... but you'll have to relocate the antenna if you want FM reception every time you take it on/off. I ended up going with the in-the-fairing antenna and picked up a Y-connector from Amazon (like $4) so I could use both antennas... reception is pretty good... not exceptional, but meets my needs mostly. If you want a passenger backrest for when the tour pack is off... you'll need to pick that up too. All together I think it costed me almost $1,000 for all the parts/kits.
BTW... for my year, there was no kit to extend the tour pack speaker/control wires. I had to extend them myself by splicing/soldering/heat shrinking wire into the harnesses. I'm not sure if this is the case for later years.

That's the one I have. Not a huge fan, but not worth the work to me to change it. You could go with the street glide/road glide taillights/blinkers. It would take care of all the required lighting, although the custom dynamics saddle bag lights help make you much more visible. I just did this on my ultra, the HD in fairing powered antenna is garbage for me. I got better reception with no antenna than I do that one, next time I pull the outer fairing off, I'm going to hook the stock antenna back up.

I'm 50 miles from Atlanta & Chattanooga... FM reception is not great here. I get fair reception when the TP is off... better with the TP on with external antenna. YMMV
