I ask for some opinions on this idea of mine.

I recently added the HD rear tail lights to my 2005 RKC. The light rack seems to have an "unfinished" look to it, with two holes along the top of the light bar for attaching a tourpak. Since I don't have a tourpak, and don't have the need for one, I came across this rack that seems to be a perfect fit.

Looking at my bike, do you think adding this rack would be a bit much? My wife thinks I'm going too far with the "bling"

BTW...I already have the rear backrest pictured below.

Here's the item from HD:


Here's the back of my bike (the little black thing is the satellite antenna. I can relocate that)

 

Ain't no such thing as too much bling! But, I'm with your wife on this one. I think IMHO that it takes away from the nice curve the back fender. I wanna solo seat to show off the back fender for mine.

 

You're right the lightbar does need something on top to finish it off. The luggage rack would do that. Or a 2nd dummy antenna in the right hand hole.

Don't get the little luggage rack as shown in the pix. Get the Premium one and you're good to go. Please do ask me how I know.


Definitely a must,

With the plate sticking up like that it would definitely would look better with a rack imo. And be more practical if that matters.

 

Yes indeed. Ella Fitzgerald even sang a hit song called "It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Bling." Remember that one?

 

+1 with Jimmything....

Love the speakers and the lowers...

 

OK, I have to ask........How do you know?

And what rack are you referring to?

 

just pull the trigger ain't no such thing as too much bling bro

 

Previously owned a '06 Road King where my dealer/owner and personal friend of mine had advised me to purchase this item P/N 53743-97. I was pleased with this rack cuz it could hold up large upright HD or T-Bag luggage. Plus what's more...The looks/size of the rack is more proportional on the back of the bike.

Just my 2 cents,

Thorey
