I also have the detachable system on my 06 EGC. The kit comes with the mounting points for the tour pak. If you want to add a sissy bar you will have to buy 2 more pairs of mounting post as thethe tour pak and \\;passenger backrest bar \\;are in differant locations. That will give you 4 \\;pairs of mounting post. The detachable kit gives me the ability to change to one of 3 differant looks (with tour pak, passenger backrest bar or stripped).
You may begin to feel some slop in the mounting points before long so do a search and find the aluminum mounting post... No more rattle. I replaced the front mounting points and it really made a differance.

That is correct. For the tour pak you will have 2 front mounting points and 2 rear mounting points. Then if you add a passenger backrest you will again have 2 front mounting points and 2 rear mounting points. The mounting points are not that expensive but when you add all 4 sets you are looking at $50 or so...

Thanks for all the input and info guys. \\; I now have the docking points done for the tour pak and a back rest. \\; Bike is ready to go stripped or with the backrest. \\; I still need to attach the hardware to the pak but that can wait until tomorrow.

Ok, I have the kit, but the parts guy is warning me that the kit is really for a "Classic" and not an Ultra. \\;\\\\\\; So they say I'm on my own for the rear speakers and CB. \\;\\\\\\; You guys do this on an 08 Ultra? \\;\\\\\\; I guess this quick business doesn't include the wires.

If you go detachable on an Ultra you will lose your rear speakers and CB capabilities. You can buy the kit 53303-07 which will give you everything you need to go detachable. Antenna relocation, docking hardware etc. As you can see from my pic I have done this to my 08 Ultra. I only listed to the CD/MP3 player anyway.

I'm a little confused with the 4 mounting points you are speaking of. Unless I am mistaken there are only 3 docking points. The 2 rear ones for the tour pack and a single front one for the detachable backrest. I think it uses the front one from the tour pack hardware as its rear docking point. I could be wrong but I think I remember that right from assisting a friend who added both to his bike. Someone check me out here.
