Thumbs up Rack & Sissy Bar

I have a 08 RKC and have a detachable Harley rack & Sissy bar. Most of the time it is off. But when I use it. It is great. I love the detachable's.

I use mine whenever I put the pak on. It carries my bag with clothing changes for 4 days that I take off and bring in the motel with me. Would go without it.

I use mine all of the time. It makes a great handle for opening and closing the tour pack lid without getting fingerprints on the black lid.

I use my rack on the Ultra. No worry about strapping something on it and scratching the Tour Pak.

Ok I'll bite. Are you really doing this? I also shoot sporting clays and would love to do this if there was a good way to do so. Are you carrying it in a breakdown case?

Used a detachable on a 4,400 mile trip last Spring.Workrd great.

I have just put a detachable King Tour Pak with the Premium luggage rack on top of it.
I know it will come in very handy too.
