Indian Pursuit tour pack removal 

I tried that the first time I took the trunk off, the wires didn't want to push in easily and I didn't want to just jam them in. I do this stuff for a living, forcing things usually ends with breaking things.

Thanks! I'm glad I could help. Leaving the bag lids open is good advice, too.

I was slightly disappointed with that as well, but I prefer to keep the tour pack on and have no plans to remove it again, so it's a non- issue for me. But still could have been designed better so it's not such a pain for people who prefer to ride without it and only use it occasionally for longer trips.

I'll keep doing them as the questions come in and as I think of things that someone might want to know. If you have anything specific you want to see, let me know and I'll make a video.

I'm glad I could help.

The trunk can come off pretty fast, if you leave the security screws out. The bags may have a quick release option, but I'm not sure. I took my time about it in the video to be sure I got the whole process, but the trunk can be off in about 40 seconds if you don't use the security screws on the latches that hold it on.

@@fenrizwulf6682 I will have to go to the dealer and take a closer look and see if they can demonstrate. But I don't think it is anything close to quick release that I am accustomed to.

The bag lights are Custom Dynamics. Congratulations on your new bike, I hope you have many happy miles on it. Ride safe!

The bag lights are run/turn/brake lights. I'll try to make a quick video of them in operation soon. On camera they usually look like they're not on due to the frame rate of the camera, but I might be able to fix that by changing the settings in the camera.

Not only are trunks being stolen more, but side bags too, and whole motorcycles are being stolen more than ever before. Keep your bike locked up.

@@fenrizwulf6682 On a Phoenix trip, my BMW was locked with the alarm on parked on a street by a nursing home. I let my guard down and my leather jacket walked away, but my helmet was still there. I could have easily made two trips and left my gear in the lobby. My hotel was walking distance to a cycle gear. I’m about a 5X, but I found a hoodie style with body armor. I was actually cold for the 200 miles home with the seat and grip heaters on. I was actually waiting for a cop to take an abuse report for my friend at the rest home. I told the cop to not even bother with my issue. No security cameras were in that area. I could imagine filing a Trunk theft report with the cops for a few hundred dollars, misc electrical stuff and the .45 Glock that is a no go in a lot of States. Thanks for the info, I’m almost done rambling and yes, if I have to leave my gear on the bike, I have plenty of cable locks for 2 Helmets and 2 Jackets and etc.

It has 4,000 miles on it now, and it has been reliable. No issues so far. It starts hard when the outside air temperature is at or below 45°F but I think a better battery will fix that. Indian puts cheap batteries in the bikes.

There's a relocation kit that moves the antenna to the same place as on a Challenger, but without that there's no antenna with the trunk off.

@@fenrizwulf6682 I had the same question about the antenna. Can you still use bluetooth without the antenna?

@@gregpatles7194 you can still use Bluetooth with the antenna off.

Custom Dynamics. I think they're better looking than the Indian ones and I know they're brighter. When you see them on camera during the day, it looks like all the rear lights are off because of the frame rate of the camera. Maybe I'll make a quick video of the rear lights at a different frame rate at some point...

I'm sure they are, but I've never removed them, so I'm not sure what's involved. They can't be too bad to remove, though.

If you don't put the security bolts back in, the tour pack comes off pretty fast and easy, but dealing with the wires is still a pain and you lose the radio antenna with the tour pack removed. Overall not a bad design, just not as well executed as it could have been, which is still disappointing.

Exactly. They really should have made an effort to making the bags and the trunk quick release. The BMW you can take off the saddlebags in 15 seconds and the trunk maybe about a minute. No reason in the world that a brand new expensive model like this makes it so difficult to remove the trunk or the bags. I'm really close to buying the pursuit but I really hate the idea of not being able to remove these things when I want to for a quick ride or run around town.

It really only takes a few minutes. If you plan to have it on and off frequently, you can save a lot of time by leaving the security screws out.

That’s the Roadmaster. The Ultimate is a slightly different animal. I agree with the man.
