I did a trip to New England last spring total 3,000 pus miles and Stugis that's 2,000 miles round trip.
Can't post pic now but have fender rack and old style sissy bar

I've toured on my Softail, not a Slim though. I used my sissy bar to attach my gear, and a water pack on the top to stay hydrated. I'll try to find a pic for you.

I made a modular, detachable rack system for different types of trips.

First, a detachable rack that has a 13" X 16" deck. This can carry a 45 liter Seal Line bag. I use RIK straps to hold it down. I can get three or four days from that bag. More in warmer weather.



I also have a 14" X 18" X 6" Pelican case that I attach on this rack for going to work and back. No pics though.

For a much longer trip, I have a supplemental rack that can handle two 45 liter Seal Line bags (one on each side) and a 55 liter bag on top.

Are you running the Motherwell rack on the back there? Any fitment issues with it and that Mustang touring seat installed?
