I have a few of the OEM racks that fit onto the stock backrest? The backrest is the higher cost for sure.

Alex when we did mine the i found the frame was bent. see here.

 

[Equanish]

It might have gotten twisted in New Orleans at Jazz Fest everyone is a volunteer there.

 

[one2dmax]

The rear frame extensions (for the back bolts) bends pretty easily and just bend it back. No sweat.

I have a factory rack too that bolts on oem backrest if anyone is looking for one.

I may be interested in your rack if you still have it. Any chance you have a picture of it mounted?

Gen 1, it's not mounted anymore, I can post or send a pic Monday if you are still interested. Just send me an email if you could, I never got a notice, just seen this.

Saw this - not sure. Anyone have one from MotoBars.com that can chime in?

That's a clean design, depending on the wall thickness, that could be pretty-strong. I think the OEM sissybar back rack has a suggested weight limit of 8-10 lbs? Not-much.

That backrest/rack is backordered, 2 months estimated restock:
https://japan.webike.net/products/21403310.html
$210 shipped, sea freight, which takes awhile. Only rated at 6.6 lbs, though, probably thinwall steel tubing.
Material: Steel Plating
Pad Size: 90mm (Length) x 200mm (Width) x 35mm (Thickness)
Carrier Size: 240mm (Length) x 250mm (Maximum Width)
Maximum Carrying Weight: 3.0kg (6.6 lbs) Not-much!

Here is what I think looks like a better one:
https://japan.webike.net/products/20535749.html
$151 including sea freight, only one item left. You snooze, you lose.
Maximum Carrying Weight: 7.5kg (16.5 lbs)
Top Plate Specification: AluminumA5052, Thickness 5mm, Black Anodized Finishing
Fitting Specification: Steel with Electrodeposition Black Painting
•It is a rear carrier using the designed aluminum top plate.
•It achieves a vehicle body form without incongruity even in a state where load is not loaded because it is a vehicle model exclusive item.
* Blinker offset will be required before mounting.

I like the looks, it's got a higher weight rating, it's aluminum, it has easy to use loops for securing a load, and the design provides for relocation of the stock turn signals.

HAC rack $197 shipped sea freight, estimated shipping in 1 week.
Looks very-similar to the OEM rack, but this one appears to fit a OEM low grabrail. Look closely, it may require an aftermarket grabrail by the same manufacturer. On a second-look, it appears to fasten to where the grab-bar rectangular reflector mounts.

I like your suggestion also. Looks much more robust and I have the cbr tailight so not worried about blinkers.

I know this post is old, but do you still have another luggage rack for the stock sissy bar?

 

[one2dmax]

I have a heavy duty home made one? Email me at [email protected]
I'd take $150 plus postage. I THINK I have it still.

Interesting, I’ll have to consider this, I may need one for our up coming motorcycle / camping trip. How much to you think it weighs?

For the sake of my curiosity, what are the dimensions?

I miss the support on the OEM one. thought about replacing it with something like this, but the budget........
