I'd like to get some feedback from guys here on their auxiliary lights.  I've always had them, and want to add them to the 2013 Road King CVO.  I like Bromebe's setup because I want to keep the turn indicators up near the grips.  I've sent him a PM asking about it, but I'd like to get some ideas and feedback from the members who have auxiliary lights.

I do a lot of touring here, so also want to add a luggage rack and sissy bar.  I usually ride one-up, but I'd still like the luggage rack to be solid and sturdy.

Any help is appreciated, guys.  Good to be here.

I opted for the Adjustable 2-up luggage rack. http://www.harley-davidson.com/store/adjustable-two-up-luggage-rack

It has 30 lbs. weight capacity (most are 10 lbs.), is expandable, provides a solid platform for your luggage and works well solo or in 2-up.
Standard sissy bar works well with my Kuryakyn Ultra Tour Bag http://www.kuryakyn.com/products/696/ultra-tour-bag, as the strap fits well around the back rest...I think the short sissy bar would be a little low for the seat strap, at least for this bag.
I also have the Daily Tour Bag, http://www.kuryakyn.com/products/345/daily-tour-bag which works well all by itself, or strapped to the top of the Ultra.

Thanks for all that, Nick!  Much appreciated!

I'm entering a new realm with HD.  Lots of alternatives for all of the models, and I'm not used to the variety.  :D

I appreciate the links, too!

I never liked the HD 4" Driving/Passing lights.
I went with Headwinds Bullet lights.

I have a HD sissybar with rack and a full TP that I can add or remove at will.
When no BSR, I take them off

DR, do you have a link to that detachable TP for the 2013 Road King CVO?  Or even a pic on your bike.  I'd like to see that.  Thanks.
