There are a few options for a rear rack but you can always try to make your own.
I took the easy way out with Lynda's GZ and mounted a top case in place of the pillion seat. I made up a steel plate to serve as a mounting rack with the top case mounting plate attached to it. Worked great and she had a backrest to boot. Lynda never carried a pillion so everything worked out perfectly.

WW, have any pics of that set up? You may have posted some in the past, but until recently my saddlebags have seemed sufficient for my needs so I may not have been as attentive at the time. :whistle:
