Default Adding a rack to sissy bar?

My Street Bob has a sissy bar that I ordered from Bowman. Does anyone know how I could add a removable rack to it? I'd only need the rack on long trips.


Most of the luggage I see says that it should be supported by a rack. This is making my longer trips a bit more challenging for my wife.


Someone has to make a removable rack that clamps to a round sissy bar. I asked Google, but she is relatively silent on the matter.


Thanks.

I've got the exact same issue on my 2015 FXDF. Did you ever figure out a solution?

personally i think the Top Hand Ventures (Bowman's) are the best sissy bar's available for dyna's. I like the way they fit between the strut and fender. Very happy with that aspect, just want to protect my fender from bags now when we ride 2 up. I was thinking about getting some 3m wrap, thoughts?

You might have to swap for a square tubed sissy bar when you travel. Yes, I already know, you don't want to. But, you might have to.
