Default Luggage Rack (stealth or not?)

I just got a 4 point docking system. I have the back rest for the wife, now I'm in the hunt for a luggage rack. I'm liking the the HD stealth rack. Any pros or cons? And any idea where I can get a good deal?

Can't answer your questions, but I like the stealth rack, too. Will follow.

i have the 2 up rack, really like it cause it comes up in the rear holding the tour bag on nicely. I like the look of the stealth, but not so sure of the functionality. Stealth looks better, but i only use a rack when i need to carry something, don't leave it on all the time. Got a great deal here off the forum.

If you want to use the rack, I wouldn't get the stealth. If you plan on leaving it all the time, just to finish off the look of the backrest, then I'd say go for it.

+1. The two up is larger and shaped better for carrying cargo. I only use it on trips or for an occasional trip to the store. I got a kick out of the warning label that came with it saying not to exceed 15 pounds. If I don't need it, I remove it. Got mine from Lakeshore Harley (lshd.com). 20% off. Not a great deal but better than buying locally at retail plus 10$ sales tax. There are plenty of aftermarket that are cheaper.

I have the stealth. Had it about two weeks. Got the detachable off of EBAY. It looks exactly like the MOCO one but has chrome latches. I paid 175.00 with shipping a big savings from the MOCO.

Couldnt of said it better myself. I have the stealth rack and well it does work if you tie something down but for me i just like the look of it. It stays on all the time and looks great. But if you want it more for function then get the standard rack.

I have been using the stealth rack since Harley introduced it. I had a standard rack on my prior bike. I haven't noticed much of a difference in functionality. The stealth looks cooler.
Just to be clear I am talking about this rack: http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...etachable-rack
