I needed a luggage rack for my TC and since nobody is making one specifically for it, I tried this...Kuryakyn multi-rack. Took a bit to install it, but I think it turned out great! 20220620_152609.webp
 
How large are the holes you drilled in the top case? Large fender washers on the inside?
 
Like the highway pegs. How's the reach to the pegs? Your height? I've had legrest on order since October and think I should accept my disappointment. I stalled the same luggage rack. Any issues with truck strut support's handling the extra weight like I have?

I am 5'10" 32" inseam. I have no problem reaching the pegs. About the trunk supports. Mine never have held up the lid, so nothing has changed. I am totally satisfied.
 
@pbosik - I installed the same highway pegs as you. Good suggestion. I added a modification to make sure they don’t move forward with my heavy feet on them. I drilled a .25 inch hole through the clamp and engine guard and installed a 1/4”-20 button head bolt with 1/4” flat washer and nylon insert lock nut. See pics attached. Now they won’t move.

That was a good move! I used a 1" 1/8th in roll pin to prevent movement. Works well, would be better if a didn't have long legs, but works well enough. Especially at the cost of the pegs. I am gonna rotate mine as you have done as well.
