|  Custom luggage rack? In my ever continuing search for a luggage rack, I'm still coming up dry. The choices are limited for the M50 so I was wondering if anyone knew of a company that will custom design you a luggage rack. I don't want something huge, like the OEM or the Cobra.

| heres one I made up for $10 OK, not quite $10. The bag cost $80, the rack $20, and the mounts cost me $10. Can remove the rack (with D Clips) in about 30 seconds. Leaves only the mounts, which still let me have a passenger. Bag can be mounted back to front, so can also have bag and passenger. The bag clips into place in about 10 seconds, holds 56 litres of storage, and is waterproof. Brand is ventura, which is made in new Zealand, and respected in Ausralia. Has lasted me 5000kms so far. Wouldn't be without it! |

If I could get just the luggage rack and mounting hardware (not the back rest), I would probably do this one. Just put some chrome spacers where the back rest posts would be. But I can't find just the mounting hardware. | |

| You can get just the mounting hardware at SCOOTWORKS Belt Drives, lowering kits, handlebar risers, motorcycle parts and accessories, chrome bolts and I think they even carry spacers as well but I an not certain as I have never purchased spacers.

Is this the mounting hardware you are talking about? I am not sure this will fit the luggage rack that dj has. | |

| They sell mounting hardware, the lower brackets and appropriate bolts. The ones they sell look like the ones DJ posted, but I am not sure that they would be an exact fit. Scootworks also sells luggage racks of a couple of designs separately, if you only wanted the rack and hardware you could get it without buying the backrest too. Or maybe I misunderstood the question, it wouldn't be the first time.

| No...you didn't misunderstand the question....I forgot to post the link.  Scootworks - Suzuki Passenger Backrests, Sissybars, pads, and luggage racks This is the only mounting hardware that I saw and I wasn't sure if it fit the rack that DJ has. Might make a little more sense now. |

| That is the bracket that I have on my M50. If it would help I can measure the hole spacing on mine. They both seem to have the holes aligned with the top slightly farther back than the lower. Let me know if you think it would help.
