I ride a Road King and I don't have the tourpack yet, but I hope to have one before summer. Unless I'm traveling I won't put it on the bike. I don't even put on the backrest unless my wife is going with me.

My other scooter had a permanent mount trunk and the E-Glide I got a few months ago has the quick detatch hardware. I have only used the quick detach to take my tour pac off for cleaning. It really is handy to remove it, clean everything up and put it back on. I would not know what to with out that "box on the back" plus I like those added rear tail lights to keep some telephone texter off of my a**. Just my 2 cents worth and I ride solo unless my Bride wants to tag along. Happy Trails....

2010 Ultra Limited here and I'm solo about 90% of the time. My wife has her own bike that she rides on day trips and weekends. The only time she's on the back of mine is if we're going for a week or longer.

99% solo and never really considered taking the trunk off....thats why I got the Ultra as opposed to the street glide.

Exactly

Kinda like my garage, or the closet space in my house. The more storage space you have, the more junk gets stuck in it.

I ride most of the time by myself. I also like the look of my Ultra when it has everything on it. Seems like the "STARSHIP ENTERPRIZE" rolling through space !!LOL It is a Battleship for sure.

I ride solo most of the time. I love the trunk - can stash all the crap I tend to carry around. I liked the look of my Wide Glide because it was lean and mean, but it was a real PITA carrying stuff.

I like the way Ultra's look really, always have, even when I had my WG.

I ride with the tour pac on most of the time, comes in handy to store or pick up things. Riding with the pac off, I do like the lines of the bike better, my tour pac comes off real easy, so it depends on the mood I am in, or the places I am going. I would say 80% of the time the tour pac is on.
