I don’t know why it would throw codes. You are disconnecting a harness for the trunk and a radio antenna. I remove and install the trunk on my challenger and it’s never thrown a code. Granted, it’s not a 2025.

 

Is giving up all that storage and taking on and off daily worth it to look cute?

I like to have my bikes ready to go, this allows day to day driving and short trips .

Especially with indians where I believe you have remove bags. But even with Harley quick detach I don't like screwing with it

I do wonder about weight. Indian trunk is tall, and with bar maybe heavy . So I could understand reducing weight . But to look cute? It is a giant freight train. Be realistic

It always gets my attention how huge the pursuit appear next to other bikes

Yes

No bag removal necessary

Either tour or remove trunk for a classic bagger look… that is realistic lol

I had a Roadmaster and took the trunk on/off numerous times. It will not throw codes. The biggest hurdle is the weight of the trunk with the mount & amp. A suggestion: open your saddlebag lids when removing/installing the trunk to prevent scratches. The first time removing the trunk have a helper. After getting the hang of it, you should be able to do it solo.

 

Good advice, thanks

 

Thanks. Was really just curious to see if that was a thing. I have found that most of the items I have heard of seem to be one off’s and not the norm.

 

After removing and reinstalling the tourpack on my '17 RM, it now stays in storage. I bought a sissy bar and rack, then added some soft luggage. If I want the hard tourpack, it is a simple snap on. And, I find that the soft luggage offers both more versatility and space.

Nice

 

I had my trunk off once or twice but just leave it on now. Sure it would save about 50 pounds but I just like it and find it easier than having to bend down all the way to the side bags. How lazy is that! Plus I do like the extra speakers. Does look sharp with it off though.

 

I wasn't thinking about losing the speakers. hmmm. I will give it a try.

 

Tour packs are perfect height, easy open I try not to use saddle bags for regular stuff. Bags are mostly jackets, chaps ,hoodies, and tools. Which fills them up for just me. OL with same goes in your pack.

I don't have all my tools in yet,and already full.

 

Ain’t gotta be a dikk about it
