Street Bob luggage rack
I'd like to keep my solo seat and add a luggage rack but, am concerned for a lack of 'touring' capacity with just a duffle style bag. Any suggestions and experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Quick detach backrest with luggage rack mounted. Stick a fair size t-bag on that. Roll bag (not pictured) zips to the top of this bag. Holds quite a bit. I also use a set of Kuyakyn Gran throw over bags as well.

Planning a full 2 week trip to Sturgis from San Diego. I'll ride the RKC with passenger backrest and rack so large luggage is not a problem. My son will ride the Street Bob and between the two bikes we might get away with a large roll bag on the solo luggage rack but, looking at options just in case.

I have a set of EMGO nylon covered, plastic lined, velcro and strap w/snaps fastened, velcro adjustable, throw over bags for under $50 that I have used on a couple two week trips and am very pleased with them. After the initial adjustment, they are easy on and easy off. Take them into the motel, tent, etc. then unload what you need.

I’ve been contemplating the same thing and even considering saddle bags with quick detach.
I don’t see it mentioned much on this board, but the Biker Friend bags come in a fairly large size and they now have a XL ‘Basic’ that is only $150 if they ever get them in stock. It looks like a really inexpensive alternative to having expensive saddle bags that I don’t want to carry around anyway when not in use.

XL is 2070 ci capacity. Not too shabby.

Here is a solo rack, (the one I have) they also have a detachable rack too! With the Ridged Rack, there is a passenger Pillon that can be added!

i use a mothers well rack and made a packing tube as well
cost me about 10 bucks to make...
(bear in mind it is on the back of my girls 250 with small bags... it looks normal on my bike) super easy to do... i can walk you though it if you would like
i also rock a solo bag and rack once in a while
