I fully endorse the solo tour pak and solo seat look. I have my TP on order just waiting for it to arrive from Harley. The TP hanging off the bike of the bike for 2 up just doesn't look right unless you are always going to ride with a passenger. Solo is the only way to ride by yourself. Great looking bikes to all of you that have the solo TP.

So the jury is out and I have to convert to a solo seat. Thanks for the input!

And moving the weight over the back wheel vs. behind the back wheel is huge. Especially at the end of the day. I'm 6'4" and a svelt 220 lbs. but it still makes a huge difference.....especially when you're riding 600-800 mile days.

So for me, it's more of a practical and functional thing than a "looks" thing. Just hard to look to cool with a tour pack. JMHO

if I go with a solo mount tour pak on my 10 SG does the stock antenna work, or does it have to be relocated?

Yep, tour packs suck. If you gotta run one slip it up behind a solo seat for sure. I got one stickin' out back there so I can carry a bag on the passenger seat. Hate it but too useful on a long trip. On long trips the tour pack carries camera gear, weapons and ammo. Around town, I've hauled lots of beer and pizza.
