The Forge LLC has a few listed at the bottom of the page;
https://www.theforgellc.com/softail/2011-2017-fxs-fls/

They are going to use the same attachment points as your
rack, so you'll only be able to use one or the other at a given time.

I welded tabs onto my QD sissybar so I could run the HD Aero Rack.





hth,

I see there are two similar threads - this one was started 14mins before the other one.

I responded to your "other" thread with the same name, but you did not
include the same pictures in it. The rear fender does not appear to
be an original Slim fender. If the struts & fender were changed to
run those hardbags, you will need to find a sissybar/rack combo
that matches the fender strut attachment points. They will be
different than those on the stock FLS/FLSS fender.

good luck,

T.

Seeing how the threads were same date, same topic by the same poster I merged them to avoid confusion.
