...HUH?..are you saying just the detachable hardware, plus quick-disconnect wiring is $600?..or does that include a tour-pack box too?.. and 4 hours to install?......I made my EG Classic tour pack detachable for about $200 I think for the hardware...and I did it myself in about 1 hour...

...wow, BradyG...not implying you're getting screwed..if it's all out of the parts catalog then it is what it is..just shocked at how expensive it is on that bike...I mean a tour-pack itself is around the same price done and on a bike...on my 05 EGC it was just so much cheaper..and other than the wire work...it should be the same basic parts...a new mount plate for the tour pack, and then the docking hardware...pretty straight forward...oh well...

Absolutely was too expensive. Wish I had thought about it and negotiated it in the deal for the bike. Thought long and hard about sinking that much into it. I don't imagine they sell a lot of these things. It's sort of like a tennis racket.. not good for much of anything but when you need it, nothing else will do.

The only other dealer within an hours drive is in Spartanburg, SC. They are actually much closer than Greenville but was not impressed by their shop guys. The guy at the desk was eating french fries and had trouble finding it in the book. One of (if not the only) mechanic walked by and I asked him what was involved. He walked over to a bike on the floor, squatted down and started looking under the Tour Pak, figuring it out as he went. I called Greenville and the guy in service that answered the phone said "Oh yeah, we've put a couple of those on the Ultra. That requires the wiring harness that's not in the box. I believe the labor rate is 4 hours but let me look it up. The last guy we put one on for had the new antennae made by Harley installed in the fairing and didn't have to swap the antenna's".
My barber (retired Highway Patrol) said he was having service work on his bike at Spartanburg and they scratched his tank. He immediately noticed it and pointed it out before he touched the bike. They guy in the shop that did it even admitted to it, they offered to "touch it up". To make a long story short, had to go to court to get them to replace it.
Since it has a 4 year unlimited mileage warranty, I plan on letting the dealer to all work. No doubt I could put it on but would rather let them do the work and I do the riding.
