Like to have the option to take a som1 now and then. The HD catalogue claims that the Solo Rack #52796-09 has a weight cap of 10lbs, yet they offer the Passenger Pillion #52689-09 for the rack. What gives?
Anyone have the Pillion for the rack and take a passenger?
Thnx.

 

I`m thinking it is either a typo or HD does not want anyone trying to use the rack itself as a back seat without purchasing the pillion. It will hold way more than 10lbs.

 

makes sense I guess, I wouldn't wan a be sitting on that rack without a pad tho, haha.
Im looking at the Boss Bag Trunk Bags for trips, but don't wana to leave it on full time and like to hav a pad jus in case. Thnx.

I ran the solo rack and passenger pillion for a few riding seasons. It was a good set up for the occasional two up ride. In fact its sitting on the shelf in my garage if your interested in making a deal. Either way let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks....PM'd

Sorry, I actually received a PM from another member, I confused you both.

 

I've had the rack+pillon for a few years and it's been great. The little woman rides about a dozen times short trips a year, so I didn't want a 2-up seat on the bike all the time or even have two seats to keep changing. This offered the best of both worlds in my opinion. I have the solo look I want, my seat never leaves the bike, I have extra storage possibilities, and when she wants to go for a spin we throw the pillion on.

Oh yeah, get the pillion back support / sissy bar too. It makes a huge difference.
