This vintage fender rack isn't very big, but it is flat to accommodate a rear bag.

I asked for a flat rack to Holan to let me set a topcase occasionnaly.
They made it for me, they probably make one for you Phil 🤣
I just received it.20210514_152246.jpg

It's the shorter model for rider & passenger seats.

hi Gerard, will you send me photos when you mount it on a motorcycle? I will then add it to the offer for others. And we have 2 pcs in stock. with a flat back in the rider + passenger version;)
 
Job done.
The rack is really a strong structure, for sure designed to hold heavy load.
I first thought to have it chromed, but wanted to look before how it looks in black.
I'll eventually keep it black, cause it would be too much chrome in this area with the back rest.
It will work as a hand rail too.
My grand daughter feels secure with them ! :cool:

i like the look of that. I see these bikes as tourers so luggage capacity to me is essential. Thanks for sharing that.

Yeah Yeah Yeah. You can laught Gerard ! Probably better to go through this Forum than using Their mail box to get an answer from Holan Company. Since i had no answer, i built one . Or tried :) to build one ... It broke so now I am on my second attempt with a different material and another design . I am not at all a rack designer / welder . It s fun . But i might have to order one from Holan Any way . Good design and well made.(y)
 
and if you want a professional solution like in this movie:
it would be necessary to gather at least 5 people interested, I will create such a product for R18 ;)
 
Here is my "amateur" solution for my Top case. It s a bit "Panzer like ", Heavy and difficult to destroy. Still need some work for finishies and paint . I Might just use a Mate Varnish to keep it row metal look. It took me some efforts and time , i'am quite happy with the result.

That looks like some good engineering. When you've given it some "spit & polish" it will look terrific.
 
Just looking at your passenger foot pads. Are there any good, where did you got them from?
 
If you are talking about mine, They fit in place of the OEM, and are just perfect.
They are available there:

Hello Gerard, beautiful bike. Where did you get the backrest? Who sells the seat?
