It seems the racks are hard to come by so I tried to make my own. I have it together but still need to put a finish on it. Thinking maybe powdercoat it. It is soild, I stood on it and it held great. Looking to put a helmet box on top, but gotta find one. Most of the rack will be hidden by the box.
Tell me what you think.

You might try this:
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Performix-Brand-11-oz-Plasti-Dip-Black-Rubber-Coat...
Tape off the very top surface of the rack, leaving a border around the edge. Leave a few 1" wide strips across the surface, and coat them as well. This will give your rack a good gripping surface and round out your sharp corners. Plus you can find similar products in any color you want, AND it's easy to work with!
This is a crude representation of my idea:

this is the box I run

I'm very satisfied with it. Bought the liner to go with it so it wouldnt have stuff rattling around inside.

its a bolt on plate
quick relase so you unlock it and you can slide it off. And it has an led light bar that you can wire as a running light or extra brake light.
I bolted a luggage rack to my rear fender.

I did several different things, I extended the short backrest with 3/4 inch square metal tubing to make a tall backrest and added a beefup plate to the small luggage rack that was on the bike.
I fabbed up a mount to us a harley ultra tour pack on it...but it bounces too much and I was afraid it would crack it, so I won't use the HD pack.
I like the looks of the 929 trunk and will most likely order it for the wife.
At present I'm using a piece of plywood on the luggage rack, with the fabbed sissy bar to hold a kuryakyn luggage bag.

That is a nice looking box Clearush, just the right size for the bike. Now you got me thinking about installing one.
