Exhaust

 This is the stock Harley exhaust with the heat shields off.

This is the catalytic converter in the Harley exhaust pipe. 

This is the Fulsac x pipe with the heat shields off, what a difference in heat comming off the bike.

I chose to cut the wiring to the tour pac (18 individual wires) and install deutch plugs, some people just connect or disconnect as needed and leave the whole wiring harness under the seat. Red wiring in the top left is for the new amp, red RCA style connectors on the bottom right are for the antenna (I'll change it to a proper connector this winter) and the blue connectors are for the speakers in the lowers.

I made up my own antenna bracket, I still can't figure out how the one that came with the extra wiring kit was supposed to work. By the way hold off on buying that kit, the only part I used out of it was the thumb screw for the seat.

I used the kit from Harley, it went together without any problems. This shows the bracket that the tour pac mounts on. 

 This is the same bracket with magnetic caps on the posts.

This is the wiring to the tour pack and the speaker pods I had to cut, I used duetch connectors but there are cheaper alternatives out there.



 I used a Hog Tunes amp, cost is around $600.00, it's 160 watts and comes with 4 speakers. It's made to power the front and rear speakers but I made a slight modification and have it powering the speakers in the lowers instead of the rear.

 Overall I'm very happy with the set-up but there is not much volume from the lowers on the highway.

 The whole system took me the better part of a day to install, I'm a retired industrial electrician with a history in the instrument trade so it wasn't all that hard.

 Right now there are no speakers in the rear pods, sometime this winter I'll get a 2 new Hog Tunes speakers and install them and a set of plugs so I can switch between them and the lowers when I remove the tour pac.
 Speakers in the lowers look great and do put out some sound.

Dressed down like a Street Glide

 Here is a group of photo's with the tour pac removed and the Street Glide seat installed. It's the way I ride it if I'm only going to be on it for a few hours, around town and short trips. It's sportier to ride and I sure get alot of comments on it.

It takes me less the 5 minuets to take the tour pac off or to put it on. One thing I always do is cover the rear fender and the saddle bags with some old blankets so I don't scratch them if don't have things lined up quite right.

I used the licence plate mount that came with the kit, it doesn't look very good though. This winter I'll install a chrome Street Glide style one. Only problem is it may hide part of the CVO emblem on the rear fender.
