Need help with luggage rack

I need to purchase a quick release luggage rack for my 13 street glide, I have the 4 point docking hardware installed. Every HD one I see in the catalog or on their site says I have to relocate the antenna..does anybody know of a luggage rack that does not require the antenna to be moved ? I don't need a real big one...
thanks, Dave

I would think the antenna would bend easy enough that you could add a luggage rack from time to time...

But the antenna will come into contact with the luggage rack and whatever you strap onto it.

Yep, it will.

I added the antenna relocation kit on my Street Glide since I was adding a tour pack.

As RollaMo said, you don't have to. I ran a chrome stealth rack for a while before I also went with the tour pac. Now the rack is collecting dust.

I am not sure if the 13s antenna is located differently then the 14s, but I use the stealth rack and I did not need to relocate my antenna. I hope that helps.
