2018 Street Glide Installing a Detachable Tour Pak
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- The 2018 Street Glide Special is one mean machine! In this video, I'm adding some detachable accessories for a customer. The Street Glide is already pretty awesome, especially in this years anniversary paint, Legend Blue Denim. Throw in the extra storage of a tour pak, and it's perfect. Still not enough storage? I even added a black luggage rack, so the customer can strap extra bags on top of the tour pak! Stripped down for around town, but in a few seconds it's ready for a road trip. ENJOY!

“Unprofessional ??” Don’t know why you say that, you have a very broad and thorough Harley mechanic knowledge and background!!
As an engineer I'll say thanks for the love. But more importantly, thanks for the video. This summer I'm looking to buy a Street Glide and install a tour pack on it. I'll be doing it myself to save a few $$$. Main takeaways - use the right parts, take your time, it'll all work out.
I gotta start watching your videos 1st ! You were the only one that talked about fat side to the inside and the oblong shape of the spacer ! Thank you very much now I know what to do ! Have a good one !
I've been in the Army over 20 years, I have been a Harley rider (2015 Sportster Custom 1200) for one whole year now. Your videos get me through my 13 hour days and then some. I have already learned a ton from you! Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos and please...PLEASE keep them coming brother!!!!
Did this on my Ultra last fall with no experience and it was easy, so glad I didn’t pay my dealer $600 for labor. There is a guy on UA-cam that has a great step by step video that helped me out a lot. Ride safe!
Thank you soooo much for the tip on the oblong and correct rotation of the mounting hardware. I was losing my mind! Worked out perfect with just a little rotation. Had no idea about that. You guys rock!
Just mounted my tour pak with air wing luggage rack today! Video was a huge help. Nothing like learning from a pro. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Ride safely everyone.
My 17 SGS came with the docking hardware, and I bought the charcoal denim King Tour Pack for it. Was a lot of work, buying the harness, making a connector to tie in under the seat, was an absolute pain in the A!! Bought the wrap around led tail-brake light that comes on the Ultra or Limited's, also wired in a cigarette light receptacle to charge accessories in it, and the luggage rack on top. Between the cost of that, plus I added lowers on the front, it really adds up. Considering trading to a Road Glide, and I honestly think I'll just get it from the start instead of a Special and add it, buy the limited with it. Thanks for the vid though, looks good.
I always remove my bbq grill, aka luggage rack to be able to clean my tourpack easier, especially on black paint
Nice pink tape John. Looks good I like the denim blue.
Love that blue paint! And we agree, HD always seems to fall short somehow someway.
Just got one for my 2021 Road King- video makes it seem much easier… hoping they still have the pilot holes marked! Great content- thanks!
I have an older model Evo with the old style latches and upgraded them (deleted) to the later one piece style. The guy at the parts counter told me that "This later style latch wouldn't work on my bike", whatever.... That latch is SO much better than the junk older style ones. I even had the lock set keyed so that it matches my ignition. Love the look and design of it! Sure beats the old "Samsonite" luggage style latches!! I had no choice but to get all the holes filled and color matched to hide them, but all in all I'm happier than a pig in the mud! Shockingly I think I'm one of the only people who has attempted to do this so far is I have NEVER seen any another early model bike with the later model latch installed on their bikes as of yet. To me it's a no-brainer I think it's worth upgrading.
Keep the vids coming my local harley shop puts the docking hardware on all the new bikes before ya buy it and I got a back rest and it never wants to latch in easily glad to know that you can adjust it thanks for the info
Yea man! If you don’t have the spacers, they probably have a pile of them. I know I do!
Yup!!! i had to buy the black latches to match my 2019 road glide special!
Inspire_Greatness74 unfucking real. Wtf are they thinking? Serious Harley, catch up with the times and stop being idiots. They are always talking about “rebranding” to bring in new customers, how about get your shit together for starters. Seriously can’t handle the stupid shit they do sometimes. Yes I love Harley, yes I admit I love Harley but Jesus Harley get your shit straight and maybe just maybe you will win over new customers and you won’t have to worry about “rebranding” all the time.
Thats why i am getting the advanblack because of the hinges. Didn't know all that about the docking system. Thanks great video
Thanks John for your videos. Bought a 2016 SGS last year and wanted to get an HD lighted luggage wing rack for it down the road so had them add the four-point brackets for me. Turns out the shocks on those were mounted upside down, from new, and nothing fit onto them. The dealer fixed it for me and had to add washers to work, but finally got it. Whew...
All that’s needed is to flip the shock on the right side. No washers needed. It’s in literature from the MoCo.
Glad you mentioned this vid in your June 6th video. I've been thinking about adding a luggage rack to my '15 Ultra Classic but I've been hesitant about doing it. Knowing my luck (if I had to do it with templates, measuring, etc) it would look straight right up to the point of drilling then bam cocksided as hell. lol I just went and looked at my tour pak lid and feel more comfortable now about doing it. Thanks for all your time video's.
Hey John” You highly trained unprofessional.....
Keep them awesome videos coming Brother!
Just bought my 2018 Special, well, yesterday! (upgraded from the '16 FLD) "youtubing" to just enjoy ideas. LOVE the way you make your videos. I dont "hit the bell" very often, but you got it! thanks for making these. Im watching you! lol
Short, concise, easy to follow. Thanks from Houston, TX!
I have the same exact bike and planning on adding that docking hardware soon. Thank you for making it so simplified and explaining it throughly! Helps a lot keep up the great vids!!
Anytime man! Thanks for watching!
couldn't agree with you more ! i think HD does it on purpose making you buy more to change from chrome to black or vise versa it gets quite spendy!!!
You could do a complete install video. I would definitely watch it. I’m getting ready to install the detachable kit to my 2017 limited.
Enjoyed this video, I have been riding metric bikes all my life and finally got to test ride the M8 Road King. I will make that my next bike and have been researching how I want mine setup. this will definitely be a part of that!
Great video! Thanks so much for the insights and the demos. Really enjoy.
Excellent as usual. Going on a trip from Atl to Monterey in May and going to need a tour pack on my 2018 RGS. It’s wicked red over black in color.
That’ll be a cool trip!
Great video. It's cool to see what happens behind the scenes. Most people just go to the dealership and say I want this or that done . I like to know the guys working on my bike. After all it's a major investment.
For sure. I don’t get much people interaction, though. That’s part of the fun in the channel. If the techs are talking, they aren’t working!
John Maxwell . Yes but I'm close friends with all the people in my dealership and they are just like Harley riders. It's just one big dysfunctional family.lol
That’s awesome. There are quite a few customers that I know personally, but it’s a small percentage of the people that actually frequent the dealership.
So I’m almost positive but this is the bike my mom just got from the FT Benning Harley! Mom and dad got matching 2018 anniversary bikes. Mom got the street glide with the tour pak and mustang seat with back rest and dad got the Breakout
Keep the videos and kickass transitions coming. I'm learning a lot from this channel.
Glad your learning stuff! I wish I had time for more videos...
Another Great video! It would be Bad Ass if you could take us on a little tour of your tool box so we can all see those special “certified Harley Davidson mechanic” tools! Maybe show us what you use most when it comes to turning wrenches on a Harley so we all at home can dream of filling our boxes with or at least a good starter set. Keep the shiny side up and the videos coming!
"No Homo" LMAO. You're awesome John.
Thanks for making great video's.
I recently sold my metric bobber i built myself with little experience. I am saving money for a heritage classic or road king. I love learning from your content.
Both good choices! Thanks for watching!
I really like your videos they’re great keep making them
John you get a taped thumbs up!
Thanks John.
Ok... Your music ROCKS Brother!
How about... a riding playlist!
I struggle at times for good tunes depending on my mood... but... my glide always improves my mood!
You got a hug here Bro!
Keep Rockin my living room lol!
I watch your videos and I ride a metric cruiser. Have no use for a good deal of the information your sharing. It’s just entertaining. Not sure if you knew that. Thanks and well done.
That’s awesome! Thanks man. I need one of those hypnosis things in the middle of a vid. I’ll get ya to switch to the dark side, haha.
More videos like this!! You do an awesome job man... Thanks for the cool content.
Kinda like the new Heritage. Black turn signals up front and chrome ones in the rear.
True!
John, enjoyed your install video. If a customer at your shop has the new tour pack installed on the newly designed 2018 Heritage softail Classic it would be nice to see the install. Thanks
Pretty much anything 2018 is getting filmed! I just need people to buy them, haha
Really enjoy your videos. You’re a funny dude without coming off as cheesy. Wish I was closer ‘cause you’d be my maintenance guy...no homo
no homo for showo
Yeah I remember when we installed the tourpac on my dads 05 Electra Glide. The stupid rack was the worst part. Also didn’t help that the first thing everyone did when a new tourpaced bike showed up they all checked it to if it was straight lol.
Haha. It always looks straight, until you drill the holes!
Awesome video John, have my tour pack at the shop, just waiting for the key match and then I'll be installing on 18 SGS, cheers man.
Love the video! Slow down on the transitions at the end. I would love to have at least a sec or two to see the finished setup.
If this guy puts lights on (like an Ultra) we NEED to see that one with wiring details. I have obtained a set of lights from 2014 Ultra for the King Pack and want to install them in my King Pack for my 2014 Street Glide Special. HD does not really tell you how to do that and the install instructions for the TP are not very detailed what so ever when it comes to dealing with wiring. Not even the detach kit for the Ultra. Cant find spit out there for doing this, HD or aftermarket....... Hopefully that one comes up one of these days. Great work on the content. THANKYOU John!
I’ve done it once. It was horrible. I’d never do it again. Had to make a template to drill holes, make a wiring harness. Good god. 6 hours later the fella was good to go. No way I would have been able to film it, I had to concentrate to hard on what I was doing. If I see the bike again, I’ll film how it turned out.
Crazy how long your hair got in a little over a year. Can’t wait til I ETS...
Keep up the good work. I think some install videos would be a great addition to your collection.
Thanks for the video I’m a few year late I bought a ‘21 street glide last year In deadwood green denim and just ordered a tour pack and i ran into the same problem chrome hardware and the bike only came with black accents
Hey John really enjoyed the video. I have a 2020 street glide and just picked up a used tour pak off of a 2016 ultra limited. Can you do a video on how to wire the lights and speakers to a street glide?
Hey John, great video! Can you post a list of all the parts I would need for a DIY full king tour pack?
Great videos. You have become one of my favorite UA-camrs. Wish you were able to make more lol. It's hard waiting a week haha keep it up
Thanks man! I wish I could make more, too!
That was cool. I have the same bike, same color and want to add the King Tour Pack to mine as well. I want to add the run/stop/turn lighting to the pack like the bike have that come with a tour pack. I'd love to see how to hook all of that up. I'm hearing Harley doesn't make the wiring connections for it.
I’ve made a harness to make it work, and I think namz (pretty sure that isn’t spelled right) makes one, too. The hard part is drilling the 8 or so holes to mount the light. I had to make a template and pray I was right.
Hey love your stuff
Just got back from the museum and factory tour you got to go see it
I wish you did more Sportster videos that's how I came to know you
I have a few filmed, and the new ones come in today.
I can’t believe I actually just gave you a hug. Cool dude!
Haha. “No homo”
Brother, that shit went out the window long ago, I hug just about everyone of my fellow brothers I know. Goes with having each others back. Keep huggin’ brother...
Subscribed....love your honest videos. Damn though....$1600 Harley tax for a top box. Guys in the ADV world gripe about a $700 BMW top box!
Another thumbs up John, great video. Can you do a few videos on Dyna whatever? Thanks Man
Thank you for the video I just bought a tour for 2018 Rod glide
❤️ ur videos! My boyfriend and I just started watching and subscribed and have binge watched ur videos! Ur awesome and u have my dream job!
Glad you enjoy them!
Really dig the blue denim.
Sooo much better than the last few years of anniversary colors. I guess the design team got that right!
Love the videos! I have been looking for one showing a quick disconnect kit for a 2012 Ultra Classic. Or one showing the parts needed . Keep the vids coming!!
mint video John, somehow I missed it when it was released. Love the install videos good job sir!
John, the black tape band-aid suits you. Love your vids, dude!
love that color would love to see on a roadglide good job buddy keep it up
Would be nice, right!
I like that paint against the black engines. I thought I would like it on the Breakout, but it no look so good to me against chrome. Better against the brushed aluminum on the Fatboy though.
I think I like the black the most!
Ya I think the blacked out looks the best
Great vivid!! 400 Amazon gotta drill in all the holes and buy a steel plate but it came with black latches and was vivid black already I would rather have a cheaper box that matches my bike than pay 1600 and still have to wonder why I see chrome on my all blacked out bike, and know its going g to cost me another couple hundred to fix this eyesore!
Big thumbs up brother! Love your video's. Keep them coming. Thanks.
Will do!
That denim blue is sharp
Yes Show us how you hooked/ where you moved the antenna. I did this on my 15 but I did it myself and Im not sure how to move it. And hooked up the lights.
Thanks for all the info your giving us!
We installed a hidden antenna.
Right on. I have heard mixed emotions on that... Some say its great some say it sucks. Probably what im going to do.
Most folks listen to their own music anyway Rarely the radio
Come to think of it... I rarely use the radio... I usually use my sena and the speakers in my helmet...
Installs are definitely one of my faves, great stuff John.
Thanks man.
I have watched tons of videos on youtube and never followed or commented on one Great videos just a thought not all of us ride new bikes how about tech for us guys riding older bikes. Thanks and keep it up
For sure. I just film what I have to work on. So I will film older stuff, just no promise on when!
Lets see the other accessories you installed!!
Will do!
Keep the install videos coming!
Nice job John!
I love this channel informative and funny!
Interested in how to add lighting to that tour pack and still have it easily detachable.
You just have to take the seat off and disconnect the electrical before trying to walk off with the tour pak. I can’t remember if they make a harness, or if you have to make a harness.
Did you just eyeball where to hit your center punch? If so, you're a very brave man.
I got mine last week $1600 was steep but I didn’t want the cheap Chinese stuff cracking, I was surprised HD had the marks for the luggage rack on the underside of the lid to but Ford does that with their rubber bumpers for sensors so they one have to make 1 bumper and have the collision techs drill them out for free! High trained unprofessional lol I like that, in the collision business we say Hack to work.
Lol I love Harley...but your 1600 dollar pak was made in China....along with most parts. Take off your tires and look what the inside of your rims say....
Hey John, Another great clip! Could you please do a segment on the duel cam chain tensioners issues and replacement time frame.
Thanks,
Rev
Yea, more vids are def appreciated. How often do you have older models come in?? Loved the 2018 bikes, maybe one day. But for now ill stick with my 04 Road King. Keep up good work man.
Enjoy your videos John nobody seems to do vids like yours in the uk. Could do with being a bit longer though 😂👍 keep up the good work.
Some of them are super long! It just depends on what I’m trying to fit in, and how much time I have to edit.
Love Harley. Typical falling just short of the mark. Like how about LED turn signals? Oil temp gauge instead of air temp?
Gotta get those parts sales, I guess!
ya really, air temp?
First of all, love your videos. I have a 2012 ultra classic and would love to put a detachable tour pack kit on it. but my wiring harness between the bike and the tour pack is hard wired. maybe do a video on how to cut into the wiring harness under the seat to add connectors to the wires to make removing the tour pack easy? it would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
I put a 2014 trunk on my 2011 cvo street glide. I used a trailer wire harness that T's into the harness under the seat and cut to length to the tour pack. I used the factory harness in the trunk for all the LED brake and side lights just have to cut off the factory plug from the trunk to match up with the trailer wires. You can get a matching plug but was cheaper and easier to just pick a different one. Ive still have to choose one myself.
Doing away with tourpac on 2012 electraglide limited ,is there a video that shows how to remove bracket
We like install videos so keep them coming!!
Good deal.
Bummer, can’t seem
to ad a photo to a reply, I would have loved to shown you my Anniversary SG Standard in the legion blue and black that I just finished putting together, 1st thing I did was remove every piece of chrome and had it pc’d black. With a set of pm wheels and a Magnaflow exhaust it came out awesome if I may say so. Great video, keep up the good work my friend
Post it to my fb page!
Cool, will do John.
Good stuff.
Thanks man!
I'm struggling with the 4 point docking kit I just bought in black. Why does it not come with black bolts and spacers? I was concerned that my backrest pad came with a chrome mounting plate, but the bracket came with a black one. Than God.
Thanks for the Great Video's Brother !!! I will have to come visit the DealerShip I live in South Georgia Albany area Keep up the Great work
Cool! Come see us. The bike in last weeks video is from Albany!
Hi John! Great videos. Keep them coming!
You know it! Thanks for watching!
So my question is what needs to be done with the antenna, I’m getting a tour pack installed on my 19 rgs?
Great video John. I love that Denim Blue! Is it time to trade in my Ultra!
Nice install John, bloody expensive though, as is everything with them 😎👍
Thanks man! Nothings cheap in the motorcycle world! That’s for sure.
I’d like to do this to my roadglide, but I want the lights & speaker pods as well. I noticed those weren’t on the tour pack in the video. Are they available? If u happen to do one plz make a video. Thx!
I love the color on that bike maybe one day I'll get another Harley or trade mine in for one like that nice job! :)
Thanks man! This color is going fast. We’ve gotten 3. The first 2 sold before hitting the sales floor. The third lasted 5 days!
I just installed a detachable tour pack on my 2017 Streetglide Special. What do I need to do about the radio antenna? It’s pushed over by the pack and I’m sure it’ll scratch it.
Say John do you have a video of a quick disconnect luggage rack for a 2015 ultra limited low ??because I would like to install one on my bike to kind of make it look like a bagger, lol
Do you have a video installing the speaker pods for the king tour pack?
Accessories for the accessories.
i don't like all that chrome ,the black looks way better, videos always good and the music great keep it up.
