53803-06 for the sissy bar, not sure on the luggage rack. If its the same as the tour pak, you will need both kits, but you won't use all the parts, as the front docks are the same in both kits.

Plus, about 8 gallons of patience, 1 gallon of beer and 3 or 4 days if the holes are misdrilled like they were on the kit I bought for the SG. Finally gave up and left a bolt out of each side but it's held together fine. This can be a very frustrating install even though it seems so straight forward.

Cheers!

Good luck on your install. I'm getting ready to do the exact opposite- I have the removable backrest and am putting on the removable rack. If you have any sanity left when you finish, let us know how it turns out.

Took me about 6 hours and lots of swearing to put both kits on my '07. But when I was done I was glad I did it my self.
