You've seen the HD detachable solo rack and it works well. There are potential problems, however:

1. If you have a solo seat with a backrest, like a Mustang, you will find the backrest will be dangerously close to the Tour Pak. If it hits there will be damage to the paint and/or TP plastic. The solution was to move the TP back 1¼" and a tutorial for doing this is here.

If you don't use a backrest there will likely not be a problem with most solo seats, although I understand Corbin solo seats have clearance problems with the solo rack without the backrest. The detachable solo rack does not work with two-up seats or solo seats with pillions.

2. The TP backrest, designed for a passenger, is too high for the rider. I tried it and it leaves a void in the lumbar area of your back. More on this in the tutorial.
