So, originally, I bought this big ass top case off of Ebay for $65 and did a thread about how I mounted it to the passenger seat area. It's worked great there, but I haven't been able to take a passenger, plus I wanted a rear rack.

Well, I was tinkering in the garage and came across some 1/2" galvanized conduit pipe and had an idea! .....I began to mock up a rack and here's where that went..... (see pics) The first few pics with the zip ties is just mocking it up to see if it would work. I bolted everything together for the final version. The last couple pics is the final product. It turned out better than I thought and flows perfectly with the lines of the bike. And, you can still us the hand bars.
It ended up costing me nothing, since I had all the stuff already. But, if I had to buy the parts, It could be built for under $10! And, I like the clean look so much better than any of the aftermarket ones I was looking at. It's very stable and secure, as well.
Enjoy.
