According to Nick @ Milwaukee Bagger, it doesn't; you can use any two-up seat with this dethable rack.
Hawg08, I would prefer not to have the HD mounting hardware (those chrome hoops) sticking out the back of the bike. As for "gawdy," the MB rack has pretty much the same side profile as the HD rack and doesn't use the chrome "U" tube to mount between the rack and TP that the HD rack uses.

Give Nick @ MB a call and ask. I had several phone conversations with him and in the first I mentioned a 30 period, but in subsequent conversations (the later ones were to get the discount at 20%) the 30 days wasn't mentioned. It would be fair to say that the discount is intended for orders received from HDF'ers he receives pretty quickly, and if he says it's 30 days I wouldn't disagree with him.
This isn't a group buy; I'm not affiliated with MB; I'm not receiving any deal or commission for sales to HDF'ers. So, give him a call and see what he says.

Finally got a chance to put it on the bike and I'm pleased with the chrome version. Glad to see you guys bought some after Nick @ MB gave HDF members the discount.
On a side note, his packaging is superior to any Harley part I have purchased and had shipped to me. When I saw the size of the shipping carton I was worried that it'd be so big it wouldn't fit on the bike; but, the box had plenty of quality, new packing marterial. Very nice touch and an easy purchase.

Problems with Milwaukee Baggers Tour Pack Rack?
Bought this rack from Milwaukee Baggers last summer. Fitment is just OK. I usually had to squeeze in the sides to get it on. Ended up chewing up the stock bushings, as I had to fight with it usually to get in on or off. Usually would end up putting the rack on first, then attach the Chopped Pack on the rack after. Not exactly what I hoped for in quick release. I also checked every pit stop and occasionally one of the rear clamps wasn't 100% on the bushing, so I would just push on the side of the MB rack to kind of click it back on. Really don't want to see my wife and the chopped tour pack rolling down the highway.
I ordered some Full Metal Jackets from Gilbos after reading about them on HD Forums hoping it would help.
Dealership put them on last week. Front ones will definately help. Yet, rear ones, make it a little tougher to get the clamps to go securely around the bushing. Dealership is going to leave the front FMJ Bushings on and try a new set of stock rear bushings to see if they can make the MB clamps are a little more secure. Setup obviously isn't as secure as your standard quick release setup on a HD Sissy Bar as the MB clamps don't really have a locking mechanism like HD's clamp.
I'm just wondering is having the same problems and if so, any ideas on trying to fix them.
Thanks for your time

Give MB a call, if you haven't already, and see if Nick can help you. Another alternative is to buy the HD locking latches to replace the latch MB uses. Unfortunately, last time I checked, the HD latch mechanism used on the detachable racks and sissy bars is not available for seperate sale; so, the lockable version would be an option worth considering.
You might consider adding a thin washer on one or both of the interior sides of the rear mounting points to widen them slightly to help with the fit of the MB rack.
