Default Question for the stealth rack

I know this has been answered but can't seem to find it. Does the stealth rack replace the rear backrest when the pillion is off?
I seen a rack that went where the back seat goes on a soloed out bike and wondered if it used the quick release brackets to mount and if it was the stealth?

The Stealth Rack replaces the rear grab bar. Has nothing to do with anything else. You can use a backrest or Tour Pak with it. There is a different rack that is a solo detachable. Part number 53048-06.

I was thinking about going with the Stealth rack... it sure is sweet looking.... but I would also have to change my rear turn signals and license plate. Still not quite sure yet.

I have it on my SG, it looks cool but is far from functional IMHO. If I had to do it over, and I prob will, I will would go with the one that attachs to the removeable backrest.

What do you mean by it's far from functional? Thinking about getting one next month.

Same question, what do you mean? I have this on my short list of got-to-haves for my Street Glide too.

I find it functional. It keeps whatever I strap to my backrest off the rear fender. I find it non functional only when I have my solo seat on.
