I am using the Corbin Streamliner Trunk with HD's solo rack. Works for me and because my bike is black, I was able to order the trunk painted. They also make a Fleetliner Trunk which is bigger. Both come with the backrest pad already installed. I added more padding to mine as it didn't support me enough. It was a piece of cake as you just unbolt the backrest and pull the staples. By just adding an inch more of padding I was still able to restaple the cover and it was perfect support for me. I also like the chopped tour pak, but it doesn't hold as much and I was looking for something different. There is a world of difference in handling with the trunk over the rear wheel versus hanging over it.

Getting on and off the bike isn't any more difficult since I step over the seat from the high side, rather than swing my leg. I don't ride with a rider backrest, and the King TP's backrest is just far enough back that I don't feel it unless I lean or sit back slightly more than my normal riding position. For someone accustomed to a rider backrest, it will feel different because the TP's backrest is higher than the rider backrest. Having the TP on the solo rack retains more of the feel that the bike has with the solo seat and no TP than riding with the TP on a two-up rack, but only when swinging the bike--highway riding there is no noticeable difference IMO.
