Rad rack indeed!
I'm scoping out one aftermarket, and I'm wondering if you know about the axle-crown measurement on the fork, and how far the low-rider eyelets are from the dropouts.

How are you liking this so far? I'm trying to decide between buying this complete or building up a Surly Long Haul Trucker - decisions!

So far so good. The bike rides like a truck, not what you'd call nimble, but good for touring use. Hydraulic disc brakes are amazing and bar-end shifters a lot nicer to use than I expected. Trek also has more space for larger tyres than the Surly. Visually I prefer steel frames, but 920 is growing on me.

I actually placed an order for one two days ago! Should be arriving at the end of this week. I'm excited to it through the rounds and also doing some touring eventually.

That front rack looks spot on, any idea on the model number or name? Thanks

It's an original Bontrager item. It's not adjustable in any way so I'd say installing it to any other fork would be challenging at least. As a rack it is really sturdy and well built and even reasonably light.

Hey ! Great looking bike !
How were the tubeless fatboy ? Easy to mount ? Not trying to escape the rim ?

I think they were the hardest tubeless installation I've had. I also had them on my Salsa Vaya for a while, until I had quite a big puncture on one of them which made the tyre escape the rim.
Fatboys are so puncture resistant that I wouldn't bother running them tubeless.
