Luggage rack options for 2007 onward (200 rear end) softails

    Looking for some options and views on luggage racks for my fat boy. Don't want saddle bags, don't like sissy bars and I always run a solo seat.  For long trips I currently use a shoulder bag but need more room for stuff so looking at a swing arm bag for the left side and a practical rack for the rear fender, hopefully something that can be detached rather easily. Had a look on ebay but most stuff is for the pre 2007 narrow end softails. Plus always good to get opinions from people that may have tried or used what I am after..... Thanks

    Be interested to see what you come up with fatbat. I'm running a solo Danny Gray on my lo and always use a shoulder bag with limited capacity. Been looking for awhile for something to carry more gear on longer trips, but so far no success.

    FatBat ... I may be wrong but I think Genuine Harley have a detachable carry rack only that sits over your rear guard ... great idear if you only run a solo seat ... I have a 2008 FXSTC and recently scored a backrest and carry rack for trips with the missus but am seariously considering getting one of these racks as I don't allways take the missus on runs and usally run a solo when she dosent come with me .

    Thanks guys. The Motherwell rack was one of the ones I found on eBay USA site. There are a couple of other makes that look the same at varying prices. They all seem to be limited to 10 pounds of weight which isn't too bad if you were to stash additional stuff into a la rosa swing arm bag. Mcas in Sydney sell the cheaper vinyl version of this bag that I can't find online and they sell it at a reasonable price.

     

    Ill check out what harley has to offer too.
