Sometimes I would like having this ability, but the TP is rarely on the bike except while on trips, and while traveling I don't have enough extra room for the helmet anyway.

For those who travel two-up I think the King is the only way to go, but solo riders may find the chopped sufficient. It also lowers the bike's center of gravity and weighs a bit less.

Chopped Tour Pak will fit 2 half helmet so long as you don't have much else in there.

Take a look at post #13 in this thread. It shows the detachable tour pak rack, p/n 53276-04; and, the mounting hardware kit, p/n 53804-06.

If you want to use the same mounting hardware that your passenger backrest uses, Milwaukee Bagger offers a detachable tour pak rack:

I use the MB rack because I don't want the chrome hoops sticking out the back of the bike that HD uses to mount its detachable rack.

Glad to help . . . (you spend your money LOL). It's an excellent product. If I ever want to put a price tag on how much I disliked the "Harley Hoops" I can subtract what the HD mounting hardware and two-up detachable rack cost from the MB rack's cost; IIRC, it was about $75--some of the best money I've spent on my bike.
