FXDF Bobtail Fender Rack Advice
Hey all,
I have been thinking about purchasing a bobtail fender rack for my Fat Bob or a luggage rack for the sissy bar. However, I was sort of leaning towards the fender rack due to looks. I was looking for some advice and pics of what rack you have and your opinions on them.
There's quite a few to choose from at a wide variety of prices..
HD from dealer: $99
Bikers Choice from powersports360.com: $50
Drag Specialites from ebay: $52
Any one have purchased these? What do you think of the quality?
Thanks!!

My opinion, these bobtail racks do not hold a lotta weight and have a tendency to dent the fender at the screw hole if you overload. They are more decorative than functional, but OK for light weight. If you are going to carry more than 10-20 pounds, then you should think about racks tied to the fender braces.
I modified a HD detachable solo rack, that is a sturdy piece of equipment. Pictures in my photo album

I do like the solo rack as coldcase mentioned it looks sturdy. However I ride with the stock 2up seat and often carry a passenger...

Have I got a deal for you ... I sold my Fat Bob last week (traded to a Road Glide). I have the Fat Bob Fender Rack, AND the tail light assembly you have to drill holes in to mount the rack. The Rack is in excellent shape, as is the taillight. I'd sell BOTH to you for $50 plus shipping if you're interested.
Here's the rack on the bike:
