Default C50 Remove Rear Seat/Luggage Rack

I removed the rear seat from my 2005 C50 this weekend and love the way it looks! Showing more of the large rear fender gives it a nice retro look. I'm considering a luggage rack. I would ideally like one that bolted on using the same holes as the back seat, and followed the contour of the rear fendor. I haven't been able to find one of this style. So, Im considering a universial laggage racke that mounts from the rear seat mount to the license plate mount. Here's a picture.

What do ya think? Does anyone have this set-up?

The contour rack can be found. I found mine on eBay while checking a general search for "Volusia". Take a look at mine, I think it gives the bike a great look...

Default Exactly What I'm Looking For

Maniac:

Thanks for the reply. What is the make and model of the luggage rack? What did you pay for it?

Thanks

Not sure of the make. There was no label on the package. The person I bought it from has the eBay user ID tourchrome . The price at the time was $41.35 with free shipping.

I know that Show Chrome makes a similar rack for other models. It may be that they are now making one for Volusia/C50.

I have a ShowChrome solo rack on my '04. Got it from Cruisercustomizing.com for about the same price.

I also have the rack, and I love the way it looks. I also have the fender bib. It was about 67 dollars with shipping for both pieces!
