| | Posted : 04 Jun 2013 - 01:05 Post title : Tubular Solo Rack - Which One? | | | I'm removing my pillion and going to a solo setup, as I almost never ride 2-up. I saw Jamie's tubular solo rack at BTB and while not quite as pretty as a bare fender, it seemed like a reasonable concession to practicality for carrying a few things now and then. So my question is, should I get the Triumph one or the Highway Hawk one that Eddy carries? The HH one actually looks a bit nicer than the Triumph one in the photo, but the photo doesn't show it mounted and there isn't much information about where it mounts, etc. Anyone have the HH tubular rack? Or seen it? What do you think of it, particularly if you are able to compare it to the Triumph version. Thanks!

Rachael, you might like the look of this, I've got it on mine. I swapped out the back rest for a Triumph version.

Thanks, John! I do like the looks of that - it would be near ideal for touring, which I hope to do a lot of this summer. I don't usualy like a backrest for daytrips though, too annoying with the leg swing-over/step-through. I think I may end up with several different tail fitments for her, depending on the trip, and that will probably be one of them. Thanks again!

No problem, you could always go for this and keep the passenger saddle for strapping stuff onto.
