Darren, you're welcome. Hope you will do a write-up with pics suitable for a "sticky" on the project. Even if it's not a sticky, it can be bookmarked for future reference.

Hey Darren, I can post some pictures of mine when I get back home on Monday.

 

Thanks again guys.

Just going over this in my head before I headout to the dealership for the necessary connectors, I'll need (2) 6-ways both male and female and 12 little pins total to make the necessary connections for both sides? Bdp, you mention a 3-way connector as well, what connector and wires on the bike did this involve if I may ask?

Thanks!

 

Darren, bdp is (likely) referring to the three-wire Multilock connector used for the tour pak light wiring. I'm heading out for a ride now, but when you are at the dealership, you can check the Touring model parts book for your bike. The part nos. will be shown for the tour pak lights and the main wiring harness "tour pak" connector.

HD also has an accessory harness they introduced last year in the P&A book for making the tp on the EG Classic detachable which does what you want: provides essentially an extension cord to plug between the current tp's wiring connector and the bike's connector. IIRC, it's about $15.

 

Thanks Carl, enjoy your ride and ride safe! It's raining cats and dogs over here!

 

do you have the part #?

 

I've seen it in the P&A book, but can't find it on HD's website. I'll be heading out to the dealership soon, I'll post when I get back with the number.

NEVERMIND: Found it: 70113-08

 

what does that part do specifically?

 

That wire harness puts a weather tight plug on the outside of the tour pack to make removal easy. If you use that you will not need to buy any plugs/pins etc... The pic in the parts book shows two wires, but, the same part number is used in the kit for the Ultra 09 and up. My guess is they have changed it to three wires for the brake lights on the Ultra.

So with that kit, you can unplug the TP without removing the liner? I'm thinking of eliminating the CB & radio antenna's with fairing mounted antenna's. Then this, and the speakers, would be the only connections? Am I right?
