Default Flat Solo Luggage rack

I have decided to go with a solo seat on my 2015 Street Glide Special. I want to add a solo luggage rack as well because I have to pick up a few things on my way home or I see something while out riding I want to bring back with me. I have found several solo luggage racks that hug the shape of the rear fender.
I had this type solo rack on my 2005 Super Glide. It looked good but it wasn't very functional. I would like a flatter luggage rack. I know Motherwell made a rack I believe it was called the Gun Fighter. It was wider than normal and pretty flat if I remember correctly. They do not make this rack for the Rushmore bikes according to the lady I talked to on the phone.
I have looked at every after market site I can think of and search on here several times. I can't find anything like that.
What do you run on your solo set up?
Does anyone else run a "flat" solo luggage rack? Or know of a company that makes one?
If so, I would appreciate any information you can give me.

TIA,
Kevin

If all your looking for is a flat area to place things on you might consider the "Tour-Pak Support". It will bolt on with 4 bolts and is used as a mounting area for the Tour-Pak on the Ultra Classic & Limited. It's also used on the Police models.

If you have the 4-point docking hardware, HD makes plenty of luggage racks if you don't mind it being slightly rear of the fender. Doesn't require a backrest to mount.

I looked at this. Harley Part Number 54213-09A

This maybe the one I go with. But I think it sits a little higher than I want. And I wanted to see if anyone else knew of anything else out there before purchased one of these.

Thanks

What do or did you plan to do with the hole for the stock seat hold down?

It's used to hold the rear of the rack.

It might have to sit that high so that the saddlebag lids clear when opening the bags.
