I've had my 08 nightster for a few months now and was wondering if anyone out there has ever tried carrying a guitar on one? It'd be great to ride my bike to jams instead of hauling out my car all the time. I have a hard case for my guitar (accoustic), and the best I can come up with right now is to buy a long sissy bar like this one...
I've never taken a guitar, but I have slung rifle cases. NOt the most comfortable for long distances, but if it's just a trip across town, it might work.
I've carried my golf bag slung across my back/shoulders to a "business outing" before and then my daughters (pink) softball equipment bag another time too. I say that backpack set up would work.
