    If you decide to put a luggage rack on your Road King "Classic" DO NOT use item C on page 402 of the HD accessories book. This is the luggage rack for detachable sissy bar upright. The bracket that hold the rack to the sissy bar, you can barely see it in the photo, is huge with a protuding "V" which when you open your saddle bag put a seriously deep impression on the bag. Even though the picutre shows it on the Road King it is sold for Road King Classics also. I was lucky enough to be able to return it, you know how froggy the dealerships can be, and go another route. Thanks Steve/Pensacola HD.

    Have you found an alternative? I was going to go the same route so I could use a tbag instead of spending the $$ on a tourpack- Back to the drawing board-

    R K luggage rack

    What I did was get the rear docking station and the buy the rack for the tour pak. I'll fabricate a plate for the rack and use that for the luggage rack with the plan being to ultimately getting the leather tour pak. It's definitely riding weather here in Florida and I plan to rack up the miles...happy/safe riding!

    This Is The Samething I'm Using On My Se Roadking, Have Had No Problems, Except That The Dealership Said It Would Not Fit The Screamin Eagle Because The Rear Fender Is Wider Than Rk Or The Classic, But I Proved Them Wrong
