Default Help with going solo
I want to get a cleaner look for my 08 Fatboy, so I want to ditch the pillion and go with a good solo seat. I do, however, need a luggage rack. I love the ones that mount to the fender and follow the lines of the fender as well, but I will be damned if I can find one that is for the new Fatboys with the 200 rear tire. Anybody have a good source? Or other ideas?

The new MoCo accy catalog has new fender racks. I'm waiting to see one installed before I buy. You have to have the "detachable" hardware installed.

If you really want to go Solo you need to do it on you own

I have the same quick detach kit for my sissy bar and I have saddle bags so the answer would be yes.
