If you're referring to the small leather TP that's on my bike, I love it, bought it unused as a take off on ebay for $425 including the quick release mount and shipping. That, along with the mustang solo and pillion gives me a lot of options. It has plenty of room and is dry in the rain.
If you're talking about the $1400 one, I don't think i would spend that much even if I could

I justed picked up a King TP off a 2006 Ultra with QD bracket, and a Passenger Back Rest with QD bracket for $625 "for all of it" Both are in near perfect condition.
I am pretty sure I got a great deal...What have people been paying??
How much might I expect to pay to get the TP painted red?
Looks like I need two different mounting kits for the bike, is this correct?

No regrets here. Mine is on and off the bike so often that I have worn out the bushings. I put it on for the weekend when my wife rides with me and take it off Sunday night for the work week when I mostly ride solo. If the occassion comes up during the week and my wife will ride it takes all of 5 minutes to mount. It was worth every penny.
5 minutes for me also

The cost made me wait when I bought my EGC this summer but I soon realized it did not take much to take off and put on. Since it would most likely be used just on trips I really don't want the docking hardware showing when off. I bought a set of SG strut covers so the notched covers don't show. It is more like 15 minutes to change and I do not see the big deal. No shortage of places to spend the money.
