i talked with the local bike/fab shop about something very similar (maybe not as tall). he mentioned doing the same thing about welding it to the fender rack, and the only issue i thought of was the seat.
i bought a factory 2 up seat to change out when the wife might want to ride (thanks to a HD forum member).
we (me and shop owner) didn't know how a passenger pillion would work on top of the rack. he mentioned that if i wasn't REALLY attached to the rack, we could try it both ways, weld the bar to the rack, as well as fab up one to replace the rack (use the same type of mount to the fender).
do you have a pic of it with the seat mounted? and what kind of seat did you use?

I have the "standard" HD detachable ones.

As mentioned in one of the earlier posts; it is easy to remove (< 1 min). "C" shape at the front, click-in lock at the back. I typically ride w/o and put it on if my daughter (12) joins me for a ride.
