Rear Rack.....

[turkman]

.......for 2013 RSS. I have the OEM one, but it is so small and doesn't have any good attachment points for bungee cords. I was wondering what others might have done, besides put a rear trunk on with a rack mounted on top. Searched, but didn't find anything that worked.

Well if your talking about the sports rack, you just didn't search well lol ;p here are few I found & shared across the years. Best-worst, diy person may chime in:
Note the mount goes under seat:
This 1 is drilled & bolted to grab rails¿ (see the rust):
Unfortunately discontinued & unavailable why it's bottom of list:

Thanks, yes I did see the first 2, but not the second 2 you posted.
I'm not a do it yerselfer, because of Parkinson's
I was looking for something that maybe someone found the could bolt up to the sports rear rack (have a dealer that really helps me out).
Probably is something out there, I'll just keep looking.

Thanks for posting that one Bfromla, I had been looking for an alternative to the sports rack which are stupidly expensive here. Hadn't thought of making one myself but that base would be a good starting point.

:thumbup: Np glad to help. FYI that still used the rack & just replaced the lid:lecturef_smilie: Ive found sports racks on eBay $100.us. or so usually not the color I want. :dontknow: Not too bad a thing if you can powdercoat. This vid shows more of why the base is needed

I bought a Besteem 929 46 litre top box and used the plate to attach to the rear back rest plate, It cost me about $100 for the box and wired it to the brake lights, works great. Drilled four holes and used rubber seals to waterproof the whole this. Cut 1 inch plastic rod and drilled the bolt hole through the middle

Unfortunately none of them ship to NZ, checked a few times but will keep an eye out. Last time I asked a dealer here they wanted NZ$1400 (US$960) for the rack and lid :shocked:

Yes I do know a machinist. Was there today to show him what I needed. Have a appointment to have him install my new rack on Thursday.
Sometimes I need a kick in the butt! Will post pictures when the rack is installed.

Rear rack, again

Now have a rack, that works for me. Exactly what I was looking for. My brother has a motorcycle painting business and small machine shop, he made it work.
