Default Luggage Rack

Getting set to put a luggage rack on the rear fender of my '07 Herritage Classic where the pillion was. I'm thinking of the 7" rack from Motherwell but wanted to see if anyone else had done this and what they went with. It's $125 with 3 chrome thumbscrews for mounting.

Also if anyone has a discount cupon code from Motherwell I'd appreciate that !

The rack says 09 and up Heritage. Looks good if it'll fit.

...Then I called them to make sure and sure enough it doesn't fit. They said the rear fender changes from '07-09

Anyone know where I could find something similar to this for an '07 Herriatge Classic?

I have the Motherwell rack in black on my Fatboy Lo and I really like the looks. Its well made and stays secure with the original seat bolts. I can swap the rack out and put seat on in about 3 minutes (including the plastic sticky thing).

I have both deattachables. One that sits over the rear fender an the other behind the sissy bar.

Do a search for just the model number on yahoo, google, or ebay. You may find that another site has it cheaper than the acutal motherwell site. I'm looking at a luggage rack for my 02 Road King and the motherwell site has it for $159 00 and I can buy it now on ebay for $140. With free shipping. Same exact item.

Probably just a minor fit difference. Maybe some workaround you could do to make it fit.

They said I'd have to drill the fender...not so much!

I found a knockoff on Ebay, thanks to Dr. V-twin. I'll post pics if I win the auction
