How to Install a Luggage Rack & a Rickrak on a Harley Tri-Glide Trike Trunk

June 14, 2020 By Ryan Urlacher 4 Comments

In this video, we show you how to install a luggage rack on the trunk of a Harley-Davidson Tri-Glide trike as they do not come stock with one. We installed this Harley luggage rack so we could then put a Rickrak quick detach strapless luggage system and bag on top of it. You get twice the storage this way and the Rickrak luggage system comes on and off in less than 10 seconds.

The Rickrak quick attach for the King H-D detachable two-up luggage rack. No more straps or bungee cords needed!! You can now travel in style with your Harley Street Glide, Roadglide, or Road Kings and have a bag that actually looks good on your bike and yet has the room of a Tour-Pak. No need to spend a ton of money on a Tour-Pak anymore. Now when you get to your hotel after riding, you can just unclamp your bag, pop off your luggage rack, and cruise in style all week or weekend and look cool doing it. You can mount your own bag to the Rickrak quick attach or you can choose one of our quality bags that is assured to work with the Rickrak!!

Go Strapless! Best Harley & Indian Luggage System by Rickrak

March 5, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher 4 Comments

I've been utilizing the Rickrack strapless motorcycle luggage system on my Harley-Davidson for a few years now and love it! I'll never go back to the days of securing straps and using bungee cords. With the Rickrak system, I can have my motorcycle luggage bag attached or detached to my Harley in less than 10 seconds without any straps! That is super important to me when on cross-country motorcycle trips when the time is very limited. Plus, I have no worries of straps, ropes, or bungee cords coming loose and damaging my paint. Or worse yet, my bag falling off on the roadway. (see my Rickrak overview video below)

The Rickrak strapless luggage system is lightweight, durable, the design is well thought out, and it's made by actual bikers. That's why we ch0ose to carry the Rickrack strapless motorcycle luggage system in the Official Law Abiding Biker Store years ago.

The Rickrack strapless motorcycle luggage system is a lightweight metal rack that can be attached to almost any larger sized touring bag. Once the rack is permanently mounted to your touring bag, the entire setup clamps down to stock round bar touring racks such as on a Harley Street Glide, Road Glide, Ultra, and other touring models. The details for exact fitment are listed in our store and in the video below.

At the time of purchase, you can choose to purchase a complete Rickrak kit, which includes the Rickrak system and a high quality touring luggage bag called the Top Dek II. When you order this complete rack and bag kit, it will come pre-assembled for you and ready to go! If you just purchase the Rickrak itself and have your own touring bag, you'll have to mount the bag to the Rickrak with the included hardware. It comes with everything you need for mounting.

Rickrack strapless motorcycle luggage system options: (Harley & Indian)

First, there is a Rickrak designed for the stock luggage rack on top of your Harley touring model trunk. This means you basically have another trunk on top of your existing trunk! And, in less than 10 seconds you can have the Rickrack off, so you don't have all that additional weight when opening your trunk lid. You can have it back on just as quick.

Second, there is the same Harley touring trunk top Rickrack for those that have switched from the stock Harley luggage rack to the sleeker Harley Airwing Rack.

Third, there is the Rickrak system for other Harley touring models without a trunk, such as a Street Glide, Road Glide, or Road King. You will need to have the flat King H-D Detachable Two-Up Luggage Rack for proper fitment.

Last, is the Rickrack strapless motorcycle luggage system for Indian touring models with a trunk and it works exactly the same.

Check out my Rickrak overview video below and if you have any further questions, contact us in the Law Abiding Biker Store!

Trust me when I say, “once you've used Rickrak you'll never go back”.

Rickrak Quick Detach Strapless Luggage System-I LOVE MINE!

We are happy to announce that we brought some awesome Rickrak products to the Law Abiding Biker Store for all you Bikaholics. Yup, products by Rickrak get our full stamp of approval and we've tried, tested, and use these products. We talk about many of the Rickrak products in this episode and what we learned about them.

Shane and his dad Rick Riffel, a father-son team out of Huntersville, NC, have developed a unique quick detach luggage system for Harley-Davidson and Indian motorcycles. And it's the best in our opinion! In less than 10 seconds you can have your luggage off and on your Harley or Indian! And no more luggage straps slapping your paint. Those days are gone for good. The Rickrak is sturdy, yet light.

You also gotta check out Rickrak's high-quality Harley Saddlebag Safety Bolts. We've tested many similar products and we believe Rickrak's are the best out there by far. They are super high quality and used by the crew here. Beware of the cheap stock pins that hold your Harley bags on. There have been recalls and lawsuits over bags falling off over the years.

Once You've Had Rickrak You'll Never Go Back!

And, never lose or leave your motorcycle gas cap again. If you're like me, I take it off and put it on top of the dirty pump. Yup, I've seen many biker friends leave the cap behind and they are not cheap at all to replace. Plus, you're picking up grime that can then be introduced to your fuel system. With the simple Gas Kap Keeper Magnet by Rickrak, you won't leave it behind anymore. It installs in seconds and you can then stick your gas cap to your tank, ignition, or anywhere else metal. And, it has a super awesome protective coat, so it won't scratch your paint.

Listen in to this episode to get all these details and much more. Like I say, “Once you've had Rickrak, you'll never go back.”
