I am looking for one myself. Harley makes a nice one for around $140 I think. I have seen them on ebay for less and they look pretty good as well.

For some the Biker's Friend Fender Guard is an option.

Yeah, you have to remove the whole assembly from the fender to get at that bolt. It sucks.

Yeah I was looking at those torx heads on the fender and thinking what it would take.

I just ordered one on E-Bay. It's from Drag Specialties sold by Crowe's Custom Cycles. About 65 bucks shipped. It's chrome and looks good, but it fastens At 3 points, one on the rear seat screw, and the bottom 2 on the license plate bracket. Doesn't look like as sturdy a mount as straight off the sissy bar like the HD ones. It probably won't hold as much weight but I had to try it.

My first add-on and I can't wait to get it and hook it up!!!! Next I'll be looking for a suitable bag. I'll probably start small and see how it goes

Not a pic of my bike, but its the rack I bought couple months ago. Used it to mount the overnight sissy bar bag. Bag has 1900 sq ins of storage, works great for those extended trips.
