I use the rack all the time and actually think the bike looks better with it on. In fact, I sold a detachable rack to my buddy who rides an '08 Street Glide and bought a 4-channel permanent mount version. This one goes better with the "1965 Electra Glide" theme I've been aiming for with my bike.

I've had detachable rack on my RKC and currently have luggage rack on my Ultra. It's a "must have" when we including you (thinking about purchasing one) go on vacation trips.
Also, Someone above mentioned about the appearance look to go along with the bike. I agree wholeheartedly. Chrome Piece on a Tour Pak makes it look complete.

Doesn't come off the 07 either. I would probably never take it off anyway, cause I like the look, but it would make it easier to clean and wax the fender.

It's off when we're around town, but it's on and loaded when we're on the road.
Functionable, practicle and does a good job of keeping things off of the paint and big enough to hold a large load and easy to tie down to.

I guess I'm not quite getting why you want a luggage rack when you have a tourpack? I have only the luggage rack and yes, we use it. If I had a tourpack, I wouldn't need my luggage rack. Do you think you'll use both? I have never had a need for my luggage rack except for trips.
