Default Let's see your luggage racks and sissy bars/backrests

Thinking about picking something up for the scoot, wondering what everyone has and what's good and what's not.

We ran with this Harley bag slipped over the sissy bar for years, wife really liked it. just slip it off and take to the room. packs alot too. Running solo I would flip it around and lean back on it. This year I needed a change and got the detachable chopped tour pac. [ sorry bout the sideways pics ]

Not the best picture of the rack


I got this off of amazon for about 160 bucks and I have zero complaints about it. I just looked it up again on amazon and its 20 bucks cheaper now.

Got both the rack and detachable mount on eBay for under 100. The clip rattled until I applied thread lock on the bolts, but after that absolutely no issues, used this on many trips last summer between Pittsburgh and Cleveland.
