That's gotta suck Thump (Not being able to find the detach. plates and being stuck at one base the whole time). I was in 9 years. Stationed at George AFB in Ca, Camp Darby, Italy(with the Army), Loring AFB, Me, Camp Red Cloud, Korea (Again with the Army) and ended up at Vandenberg AFB in Ca. I was in Civil Engineering, Electric Power Production. Had the time of my life overseas.
Went TDY a lot, Germany, Austria, Greece, Spain, Japan, Phillipines.

RE: Configuring the Dyna for short 2up trips... Yuck!
I was looking at two-up bikes like the wide glide and the softail custom when I bought my street bob. The g/f told me she didn't want to ride so just buy the single seater if that was what I really wanted.......
...less than a month later I'm buying the seat, sissy bar, pegs, peg mounts, matching helmets.........women[:@]

Oh yeah, and the luggage rack requires me to go back to the straight up license plate bracket. I don't like that at all. The back of my bike is going to look like an ugly chick with braces.

You can't use the H-D sissy bar luggage rack? the sissy you have choosen does look cool but have you not thought to maybe go with the H-D low sissy bar and rack that goes with it . For reference, I have the low sissy bar on my bike (also have a rack but not attached). I think the low is tall enough to allow you many options for luggage, from what I have read, researching some of those rear luggage pieces. Now, 4 bolts and in no time you can re-install your current sissy bar you have ....also obviously you will not muck the rear by getting a rack that requires an upright plate like the one you must be looking at.

Chris, I just went through the same pains, but as much as I don't like the detachable backrest on my bike, it does make the Mrs. enjoy the ride that much more. A bonus for me I guess.
