Solo rack

Motherwell has two types that will fit the deluxe. The one for the deluxe and the one that's for the springer. I have the springer one and its a tad smaller than the other. Check their website and you will see the sizes. By the way, I had a motherwell on my old fxdl. Quality is second to none.

Motherwell was the only option I found, that's why I posted. Thought there had to be more options out there, but mebbe not.
Since this is the only game in town I went to the website only to find a note that stated "Will not work with Corbin saddle, see MWL-180". Looking at the specs, the 8" dimension doesn't jibe w/my measurements, so I've sent a message to them to get this cleared up - somebody has surely ran into this before...
Anyway, thanks for the replies; they were appreciated. If there's any interest I'll post updates on progress.

The other option is an authentic Heritage Springer Solo Rack. It is Quick Disconnect and follows the curve of the fender. Best looking Solo Rack out there. The only issue is that they are discontinued and don't come cheap used. (Beware of low priced Ebay ones, they are shamefull copies)
I never liked the Motherwell rack due to that flip at the end of the rack. Looks like a bicycle rack.

Price isn't a problem (how expensive can it be), but finding one hasn't gotten me anywhere after an hour or so plinking around on this laptop.
Sorry to bother you, but this one's important to me and I want to do it right. If you can't help I want you to know how much I appreciated the lead anyway.

Holy frijoles forget what I said about "How bad can it be"! These suckers are approaching the $500 mark, and even I'm not that gullible. I'll leave 'em for Jay Leno to collect...

Interesting - It's the reason I prefer the Motherwell - when I actually use the rack, the load doesn't shift.
