Riders Essentials Kit?

I'm going to install a detachable passenger sissy bar upright, backrest pad and luggage rack on my RK. I was going to buy the components separately and noticed that there is a Riders Essentials Kit that has all of this. The only difference is the rack they use is different(looks smaller) than the one I was going to get(P/N
53743-97. Anybody been down this road? Don't want to wind up with a rack that's too small or not as good as the 53743-97 rack.

Get the bigger rack 53743-97. I have that one, and it works out very well. Buy your stuff from one of the dealer that give a 20% or better discount like Zanotti's and you will same some cash to buy more stuff.
