Quick Detach Rack for Harley Davidson®
Fits ‘90 and newer FLTs, FLHs, and FLTRs. This 11” x 16” rack comes with two chrome receiver brackets which bolt on between the saddlebags and fender where they are hidden from sight. The rack can then be installed or removed in seconds by slipping the male pins on the rack into the receiver brackets and securing with the supplied locking pins. Like our other racks, it’s made from strong, lightweight aircraft aluminum and powder coated in bright silver. While it has been tested to 250 lbs., it’s rated at a 35 lb. maximum load capacity to maintain good handling characteristics. This rack will easily accommodate small to medium sized coolers and luggage as well as our No.RB100 custom waterproof bag and No.SPTCDY Sports Caddy. NOTE: The use of No. CRLGHT LED tail lights & license plate mount is strongly recommended because all but the smallest of bags may cover the tail lights, license plate and turn signals
