Default brawler seat with rack or bib?

I just installed a HD brawler seat on my RK. I had to loose my tallboy handlebars and go back to stock for comfort but so far I love it. I have been thinking about adding either a fender bid or one of the skinny fender luggagge racks that match the fender shape (preferred). I have been looking and google searching but cant seem to find any. Anyone have any pics of these? doesn't have to be with a brawler seat but somthing similar would be nice. Here are some pics of how it looks right now.

I did the Motherwell luggage rack AND the bib under it. The bib hides the scratches that the passenger pillion leaves on the fender. My setup won't work on yours though because my rack and bib use the pillion mounts which you don't have anymore with your seat mount.

This is an 09 Classic with a Motherwell rack and Danny Gray seat which has a similar mount as yours,the T-Bar.

I ordered a chrome solo rider luggage rack off ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/400333836181?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1439.l2649
Not sure how it will look with the brawler seat or if it will even fit due to the mounting as RaceFace said. The mounting tabs are still under the brawler seat (new seat bracket mounts to them) so i'm hoping that I can still slide the mounting tab for the rack under the back edge of the seat. I'm ok with it if I have to slightly modify it to make it work. Worst cases, it gets listed back into the classifieds.
There maybe a reason why I can't find a picture of anyone using a brawler seat with a luggage rack. Maybe it won't fit or looks stuipid. guess i'll know soon enogh.

Got my luggage rack in. Here is a couple pics of the luggage rack with a brawler seat..it fit but just barely. what do you think? does it look ok or is the seat to long to pull off the rack look?
