Default Luggage rack question

Does anyone know where I can get a luggage rack for a 2010softail custom that does not require me to drill holes in the licence plate bracket? I want to be able to take it off fairly quickly when I am not using it, I dont want to have to unscrew it from the dam licence plate every time I want to take it off. I have been searching on the internet with no luck so far, even the one for Harley says you need to dril holes in the dam bracket. Thanks for any help.

The 2 holes in the bracket are small and hardly noticable. I just pulled mine off when I traded it in and you could hardly see them. You could put bolts painted black in the holes or chrome bolts when it is off. My rack is for sale if you have any interest pm me
