Hey guys,

My C&C solo seat is on it's way and I'm wanting to put a solo rack on the rear fender.
I'm looking at a Motherwell
They suggest a MWL-421


Anyone have other suggestions.

Pics would be a good thing.

Thanks

 

A few on here have that one. I had it briefly, but its just for looks. Totally useless to carry anything. Barely 3/4 inch between paint and rack, so using bungee cords is risky. Curved surface wont hold anything.

 

I'm ordering the same model as you for my 09 Classic with a Danny Gray Speed Cradle solo seat,hopefully it will fit.I had one of their solo racks on a previous bike and I was very happy with the quality,fit and finish.

 

I have a HD solo detachable rack.
It comes chrome but I had it powder coated black.
You need detachable docking hardware to use it.

 

I too have the HD detachable one. Mine seems to hug the fender a little closer however.

 

it's because I never clipped it down, I just set it there for the picture, it does sit closer to the fender

 

Motherwell and solo seat, hope it helps, I like it anyway..

 

+1 on the HD solo rack.

 

Thanks Casper, that's exactly what I was looking for.
I too like the looks of the motherwell rack.

I have to admit I'm not a big fan of the HD solo rack.
I'm going mostly for looks so the Motherwell looks best to me.

 

I have the Motherwell rack as well. I disagree totally with Northwoodz, I have a luggage rack bag which attaches to the rack with velcro loops which are part of the bag, and then it gets a bungee net over it. On road trips I stuff that bag full, and I've even had my heavy leather jacket under the bungee net (and on top of the bag).
Granted, if you want to strap a gallon of milk to it it wouldn't be much good... As far as function goes, the HD rack looks like it's a better bet, but the Motherwell version has worked well for me for a few years. I made a thumbscrew so it comes off and on ina flash using the stock passenger seat mounting points.

Here's mine:


And here's the rack bag with one side attached to show the loops that hold it to the rack:
