Default Fat Bob luggage rack options/touring

Thinking of doing a bit more touring with the FB, just wondering what the best options are for luggage racks. I do happen to have a quick detach sissy bar and am thinking they make one that bolts onto it? What are the rest of you FB owners doing for touring in general? I'm trying to plan out the best way to pack this bike down, any suggestions or pictures would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have a luggage rack that attaches to the backrest brackets. I also picked up a sissy bar backpack that fits pretty nicely on the rack. It secures to the rack with straps that are used to attach the pack straps when your using it like a back pack. I'm amazed how much you can fit in the pack. It also has some 3M reflective tape that's pretty amazing when headlights hit it.

Works for me.

I have the HD detachable sissy bar with luggage rack and it's pretty nice. I use a t-bag reno on the rack and when needed larger roll bag (looking at a bikers friend now) on the rear of the seat. That setup holds a lot and doesn't adversely affect center of gravity or looks, IMO.

Thanks guys. Sounds like the luggage rack is a start. I've got saddle bags already but my tent and sleeping bag obviously won't fit in there. The rack with some sort of luggage option seems to be the way to go. I guess I could always bungie things if need be.

This is the back pack I have. Great price on EBay right now if you can snag it for the starting bid. The pack goes for $150.

I have a touring bag for sale if interested. Since I purchased saddlebags I don't use it anymore.
