I couldn't get my leg over with that huge stack.
Why not simply remove the pillion and utilize the extra room?

My boys and I share that luggage, at most two bags will be strapped together for a total of about 16" high.
When you say remove the pillion do you mean strap luggage right to the rear fender?

Ditto on that 'cept it depends on the rpm before it gets sexual for me.

That's what I do using a flannel patch to protect the matte black.
A low mount rack would be good as well. That pillion takes up a lot of room.
I have a back rest that aids in the mounting as well.

Great idea, never thought of it. I didn't realize how much room that seat takes up until you remove it. As soon as I read your post I went out and took it off and fitted a couple of those bags, what a difference.

I have the backrest as well. I plan on mounting my tent and sleeping bag to the luggage rack.

Thanks for the advice.

IDK, I have a solo seat and rack, but you can strap a lot of stuff on the pillion seat....

I made a rack to put in place of the pillion seat, I basicly had to since the pillion seat was where my backrest mounted on the Russell seat. Now the rack holds the backrest, I mounted a Givi plate to it, and I use one of the old Traffic cases that Givi doesn't make anymore. It's the perfect size so I can lock up my lid, I never seem to remove it. I guess you would definitely say mine is dressed, but I also use the easy brackets & the bags come off asap!

^^^that looks very clean, love the seat. I have been reading about the Russell Day Longs for quite a while now. How do you like it? Did you send in your seat pan or opt for the drive in service?
