Default FXFBS luggage options

Hi,

I’m looking for a flexible luggage solution for a Fat Bob 114. Most of the time I will need a luggage space for half or entire day trip - wallet, keys, maybe ipad, small grocery shopping, etc. But some time for a longer trip, but not longer than a weekend I will need some more space to stay overnight. Right now, I’m riding alone, but consider to get my wife on board some day. I browsed HD accessories catalogue and found out that bigger bags require sissy bar upright to fit. There are also smaller messenger bags that are also fitted to the sissy bar, but I’m not eager to have sissy bar installed all the time while I’m riding alone for errands or short trips. Maybe the solution would be to have a luggage rack without a backrest, but I cannot find a bag that would fit to it...

Any ideas?

The luggage rack is attached to the sissy bar, and they can be removed in under three seconds.

Put the luggage rack on for trips where you need luggage. For small everyday stuff, get a swingarm bag.

Another option is a tank bag, but it'll scratch the tank sooner or later.
