Default Slim Luggage rack

Any Slim owners find a luggage rack that fits behind the seat? I was hoping to find one that will bolt to the rear seat bolt and the whole farther back used when installing a dual seat

I looked at those but was not sure it would fit the slim, do you know if the fender on the slim and crossbones are the same?

Motherwell has a rack specifically for the slims. Their part number is MWL-151B. Seems to come only in black right now.

How about one that uses the fender struts to support it? It seems like it would be more stable and hold more weight. Preferably removable and without relocating the turn signals. I know this is possible and if someone made one they would sell like crazy.

I use a motherwell rack on my Heritage, I have the solo look. Functional and looks good over the lines of the fender.

Good looking bike.

Motherwell makes nice stuff. They did me a custom ECM cover for my HD Spring Solo and pillion, before I just modified the OEM parts.

A smaller rack that worked two up would be cool for the Slim. Then again, I just end up strapping stuff to my sissy bar.
