Luggage Rack for my WG

So this coming month I'm planning a 3 day camping trip with some friends. I'm thinking I am going to add a luggage rack to my bike so my girl friend isn't forced to wear a huge back pack. I'm interested in seeing some different style Racks that you guys have so I can make up my mind. So far I like the HD gloss back one that bolts to the stock rear seat and to the turn signals. But I really want to see it from different views.

Photos welcome please.

Thanks
Rodney

Personally I wont run anything that sits on the fender luggage. I use the gloss black that attaches to a detachable back rest. Here are some shots of it loaded, and Unloaded. The wife and I ran this setup for our 1100 mile trip 2 weeks ago for Hells Canyon. 0 Issues and we had just as much packed as a buddy with saddle bags.

Here's mine. The rack along with the Messanger Bag has worked out great.

Sorry I didn't post the year of the bike I thought I did in the title but looking at it now I guess I didn't. So anyway my bike is a 2012. I have the stock sissy bar with the slip over back rest for my girl friend so I need something that will fit good with that set up. both so far look great though. Thanks guys!

I have a 2012 Super Glide and am going to be installing a sissy bar and luggage rack as soon as I can get an extra set of hands. One of the bolts loosens up into the rear tire.
