Carrying luggage

[pisco]

I've been cruising through these forums for about a year trying to learn as much as I can before starting my build and its time to make the decision between city and track frame. I'm wondering if anyone has thought of attaching some sort of luggage rack behind the roll bar above the engine cover for road trips. Would it be feasible to do so for carrying a small suitcase or backpack for each driver and passenger? I'm trying to decide between extended and standard and city vs track as I've see the track with a rack mounted on top.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated here!!

Wes probably has one of the nicest racks I've ever seen.

i saw his and like it however I was thinking of mounting something on the angled frame between the top crossbar and strut top mount on a city frame.
any idea if there is room there?

There is room there as I have my heat exchanger mounted there. My only comment to mounting something there is the visibility reduction.

I didn’t consider that however I was thinking something removable (clamp on tube maybe) with two small compartments just for a weekend worth of clothes and maybe a jacket for each. So maybe I could split and leave an opening between for rear view

Get the extended frame so you have some soft luggage space behind the seats.

Where and how do you get the parts to build it?
