I was looking at your signature picture: what brand/name is the rack you are mounting? The picture is relatively small and I do not see how it is attached to the frame.
I am interested in coming up with a solution to carry,say, a large backpack but I do not want to go down the road of multiple-kits-relocating-this-and-that-tricks that Harley tries to get you into

I've since taken it off since I didn't use it much and besides, I like the cleaner look without it.
I don't think it would serve your purpose though as the load rating is on the low side - I believe they recommend something like no more than 10#.

Hey thanks!
It is actually kinda what I was looking for: I can mount it simply with thumbscrews!
Look like this manufacturer has interesting products, will look into their solution for the detachable sissy bar also: same thing here, I hate the idea of having to relocate turning signals and side licence plate and so on...

A lot of guys here running their sissy bars for the same reason - they don't require turn signal or license relocation.

Check out "raybowtieman" on eBay (Bowman Welding).

jam436, did you relocate the rear fender reflectors or just get rid of them? I have my eye on one of these Bowman sissy bars (but with the crossbar for a pad and shorter in height, as well as angled back a few degrees) after seeing them mentioned a few times. I love not having to spend ~$300 at the stealership for relocation kits.
I just took mine off anyway...

Are they easy to remove? Someone mentioned in a different thread using a heat gun to remove them, which I don't have. I'm afraid if I just pull them off, I'll wreck the paint enough that my touch-up kit won't be able to fix it.
