... put it on yesterday.

All the washer you gotta line up between the fender brace bracket and the bottom of the fender where kind of a pain in the ***, and the two bolts on the side took a little bit of work to get lined up just right. Other than that it wasn't too bad. Definitely not something i'll be taking on and off a lot, i think it looks pretty good (makes the bike appear longer too) so i'll be leaving it on.

The fasteners they chose don't really make sense...
Went from (2) Torx on the side and (1) large Phillips screw on the seat,
to (2) Allen Head Bolts on the side and (1) Torx head screw for the seat.
Not sure why they mix'n match fasteners like that, but it's not that big a deal.

Now i'm shopping for a bag for the rear rack and planning my first road trip.

 

What brand of rack is that? It definately looks different.
Kinda fits your bike's look.

 

It's new. From Harley.
Looks practical. Enjoy the road trips. A bunch of the fasteners on my bikes have been replaced with polished stainless steel or powder coated socket heads. I think they look tough.

 

It's HD, like Scuba said, just came out with it for the 2up seats.

I think i've decided to go with this bag:

... from Firstgear.





With this Saddleman bag, as an alternate:


... any opinions or experiences would be much appreciated.

Either should hold a coupla changes of clothes plus other small stuff i'll need for a coupla few days away from home.

 

Which bag did you go with and why? And how about some pics of your bike with the bag on it?

 

Will the rack work with a solo seat also by useing the front bolt holes?

 

better get yourself a couple cargo nets too.
they saved my azz on some road trips in the past.
good luck

 

It looks like you can use the rack with a solo seat.
Just gotta use the other seat hole for the 2up seat.
I guess you could even have dual racks... no idea if it would look good though.

 

I went with the Saddleman bag. It fit perfect on the rack.

No pics of it mounted, i'll get some next time i load down for a weekend trip.
The other bag was too long and would've fit awkward, plus it was meant as a sportbike tailbag.

Rack still on the bike, the finish has held up from weekly use (usually a small cooler every weekend).

 

Hello, do you have the part #? I liked that rack, do you know if is it available chrome? thank you!
