Default luggage rack

I am looking for a luggage rack to mount on my removable back rest. I have an 05 e-glide standard. Has anyone bought an after market that worked well and if so where did you get it?

I looked at the Motherwell rack that attaches to the backrest. Almost the same design as the HD one. But I did a search on here and apparently the quality isn't that good. So I went ahead and ordered the HD one. Just installed it last night. Got it for $151 from Charlie's HD.

Hi Crank07 how big a rack are looking for? I have one that I got from J&P for my old RK. It fastens to the license plate bolts and to the seat bolt. If interested, give me a ping and I'll measure for you.

yes I like the one that Harley sells with the exeption of the $189.00 price tag. Was just hoping to find one that will work for a little less money.

Ditto on the HD rack. I was going to buy the Motherwell also, but they were on backorder when I was looking for one and the dealer had them in stock. Glad Iwent for the HD one, because it's great quality.

Try looking at Zanotti or Surdyke. They sell HD parts new for a lot less then the stealers sell the exact same thing.

HD luggage rack for detachable passenger sissy bar upright HD#53011-98 MSRP $189.95
Zanotti $156.04, but the shipping is $14.00
Surdyke $162.54, unknown shipping

There are other sites. There are other dealers that will give an automatic 20% discount on all products. Good luck. I hope this helps.
