I don't have an Iron, but it's basically the same thing. Personally I like the RevPack. They're simple throw-over bags, you don't need any extra hardware like support brackets. just slip'em on and off. They're sturdy, very durable, and break down into a small size so they don't take up much space. Best part is, they're a small, American made company.

here they are on my bike. they're a little crooked because i just threw them on and hadn't adjusted them yet.


and this is the article that sold me on them.

they work great and they keep the profile of the bike down so they don't look bulky.

Hi folks,

Not an Iron either, but a little bit of wrenching to get me a detachable, clean luggage solution: Took a Tour-Pak rack base (53655-04) plus install kit, a Touring Sidecar Rack (53669-89) and two half-inch chrome spacers, then drill, wrench, done (a black rubber plate glued to the base platform nicely covers the holes).

A throughout H-D, rock-solid custom rack equally suited for the day shopper or for a three weeks holiday.The rack base fits over the stock 2up seat, so no mods needed there. The rack is wide enough to comfortably tie your rolls or bag. And for bar hopping, leave the whole rack at home.

 

Brilliant solution!!

 

 

that's a beautiful bike my brother! I love what you're doing with it!


I'm pretty sure they have a tail light relocation kit available....let see if I can find a link.

Viking Cruise Tail bag, cheap throw over saddlebags and tool bag from Jafrum... enough for 5100 miles in 16 days.

 

Hi lovergoof,

The max load on that sissy bar rack is marked as 5lb I guess it can hold up more.

I'm also looking at sissy bar -tail bags, found couple interesting bags from xelement (google Xelement Tail Bag)

 

For weekenders and trips that last more than a day or two I just add a backpack bungeed to the sissy bar. Otherwise the HD throw over saddlebags consume most everything I need.

 

Hi there! The sticker on my sissy rack says "10 lbs". With that being said, I believe H-D put this on there for legal reasons (they don't want people sitting on the rack - which I don't know why anyone would, or loading 100+ pounds on it) and I don't blame them.

I've ridden 400+ miles with the sissy rack packed and it's still solid. The bike doesn't handle that different (aside from the weight offset, obviously) from solo riding, even with a passenger.

P.S. I thought it was weird when I got the rack - what's the point if I can only put 10 lbs as LUGGAGE? So, I tried it my way.
