    No, but isn't your TourPak hard-bolted instead of removable?

    For now it is, but in a year when I might have the bike paid off If'n I'm lucky
    I will have a quick release.
    When you work on the bike. It makes it nice if you can remove the tourpac.:rant:
    I got a lot of trinkets I want to put on it.:D

    Ask Olbill here as he put the quick release on his Ultra. We went for a 100 putt today and he had his off.

    If somebody walks up and snatchs yer backrest of tourpac off while yer not at the bike. You would understand it, especially if you had to go buy another one.
    Hd parts everything they have out real bad.
    I had a buddy that somebody stole his derby cover off his bike while he was at a bike meet in Lousiana.

    I looked at the Brukus device for locking your saddlebags to keep someone from stealing them and thought it was a good idea for $50. I had a better idea though that only cost $3: a 5/16" bolt that replaces the saddlebag pin with a retaining clip like they use on car fenders-- 1 on each side.

    The locking "bullet" for the detachable TourPak/backrest is OK. But a trip to the hardware store will get you what you need for $25 less.

    Yes. I just drilled a small hole in the cam lever and threaded a 1/4 28 thread with an allen screw in it. Anyone can remove it if they're carrying a set of long-handle allen wrenches. But if they have those kind of tools with them, they'd just steal the whole bike.
