Default 2015 Road Glide Backrest/Luggage Rack
I'm new to the '09 and up series and have a question on the removable stuff. I am in search of a removable passenger Backrest AND the removable luggage rack. My '07 RK just piggy-backed those but the RG doesn't look like it's the same thing. I am wrong, I'm sure. Anyone have close-ups of this combo and part #'s?
Thanks!

Well, I did some searching and it seems the 4 point mount is what I'm looking for. As I expected. The confusion comes in the mounting. WHERE does the front of the detachable ATTACH to, since it's not part of the newly added mounting bracket?
Thanks again!

The front mounts of the detachable back rest go into the space between the top mount of the shock absorber and the frame.
