Default Lets talk racks....
About to order a luggage rack for my tour pak. Not sure which way to go. I've had the premium rack and it's a nice size. How about the Air Wing ?

Toss in your two pennies...

Thanks

Yep, love my airwing. I had the smoke brake light first but didn't like it. Now I have the regular red LED light mounted in mine.

i have the premium. while it is a good rack, i wish i would have seen the kuryakyn first. it has integrated tie down points, and a smoother look. i would have got that one.
check it out,

I have an airwing and I think it looks sharper (just in my opinion of course) than the premium but it isn't as big. But then again there is only a maximum amount of weight you can put on it anyway. And yes, you can add a light to it too.

Airwing! Same size as premium, but looks better and the additional light is a plus. Love mine.

I thought the air wing was the best looking also UNTIL I saw the one from Metalsport.... it makes Harley's look pretty cheap, but its pricey.
