Kind of neat, but where's the foot clutch and the hand shifter ?

I'm heading to the mountains of Eastern Tennessee on Friday for a couple days in the hills and curves with friends. It's about 5 hours of interstate to get there, so I wanted to get set up for long haul travel.
I already had the modular QD racks, and I added a pelican case knock-off a few months ago. Now I have the HD King Size windshield, and I fabbed a backrest mount for a Mustang backrest pad I got off Ebay. I also added some Memphis Shades lower fork wind deflectors. They sent the wrong clamps, so they're on upside down until Thursday when the correct clamps arrive.
I can now carry three full-sized duffels and keep the fatigue levels low.
I can also detach everything in less than a minute so I can leave the rack and windshield in the hotel while scrubbing the edges of the tires through the mountains.
I really like your mad-mod skills Makes me want to build something out of scratch for my bike... just for the hell of it, lol.

Thank you sir. It's very functional and the total cost was less than the HD QD luggage rack (slightly more than the Motherwell rack.
Other than the Pelican knock-off case (made by Condition 1, and the Harley QD fittings, everything is from Lowes. I went old school for the fun of it. The only motorized tool I used was a cordless drill. All the metal was cut with a hack saw and filed by hand. No welds either, just nuts and bolts and bent metal.
I'm thinking of getting two more cases and attaching them to the sides with Ball-Lok pins so I can take the cases into hotels and places during stopovers.
