I've taken 22 south from 16; not too bad. Is there pavement on the Lodgepole secondaries going north and south? In truth; I have a trailer setup just to take our two Dyna's to Red Deer or, more often, Calgary to start from. Waste of time and tire from here to there on 4 lane...But you are right; not much near Edmonton interesting on a two wheeler.

I definitely do shop after market for most of the stuff, which all has to be shipped outta the US, but for the stuff from HD its always a couple weeks away

Thanks! I do a little photography on the side, kind of as a paying hobby so it pays off for personal photos haha!
You have quite the mods on your fxdf!

Seems like every month there's some sort of sale going on, %20 or even higher sometimes! Do you ride down to calgary much?

Not a very good picture but I brought the bar, luggage rack, side plates and pad to work today to assemble.

I ride solo but I thought the bar would look kinda bare without the pad, it also leaves the option for later on if I wanted to take the solo bag off and put passenger pegs back on.

Is the luggage rack weight capacity seriously only 10 lbs... or has anyone pushed it a little further haha?

Looks good quick question about the rack can I buy that and mount it to my detachable sissy bar or is that all one piece ? My fiancé bought me well herself a sissy bar for Xmas but I don't her I didn't want a luggage rack because on my sportster it was not detachable ... Thanks for any Info

Part number on luggage rack would be very appreciated

Yep that's exactly what its for, the detachable sissy bar. You basically take out the bolts that hold the bar to the side plates, slide this rack between them and use the longer bolts that come with the rack. Little red loc tite and torque to 8-10 ft lbs and you're set!
Unfortunately I dont have the part number handy, I'll see if the box is still in the garbage on tuesday at work
