luggage rack

[Hap]

it sure would be nice to have some type of rack behing my seat to bungee things on. If anyone comes across a rack please let me know!

Reproductions are available.  I have one.  Ask Richard, I think he may still have a few left.

I'm just still confused about which bike he's wanting one for. This is posted in "350 Talk" which isn't in his avatar pic.

I'm just still confused

You should stop right there

[Steve S.]

Oh yeah......  I just assumed he was talking about a 350 since it's under that heading.  Maybe not???

He owns a GTR too.

The 350's never had a "rack" that I'm aware of.... they did have a "grab bar" at the back of the seat on the 71 models and if that's what he's looking for, yes there are reproductions out there.

I'm sure when he sees all this, he'll first scratch is head & then clear it up for us!

I have a rack or two floating around... I kinda need to know for what bike though 

When I ride my Speedy to work I use a back pack for my lunch and other stuff, very handy and not the least bit uncomfortable. Most times I forget I have it on. But if you have a rack you can always strap a milk crate to it.

I have a 90 and a 350. I am talking about a back luggage rack (not a grab bar) for the 350. Does anyone have one that could post a picture? I dont think I have ever seen one.

You can probably find something that will work at a swap meet that will require some modification. I have a modified rack that I've used on my 350 for years.  I think it was originally made for a Yamaha XS650. It fit the shock mounts correctly for the front mounting.  For years, it was supported at the back by a couple of bent pieces of conduit hose-clamped to the frame loop behind the seat.   A few years ago, I finally welded on real straps to bolt to the sides of the frame loop in the threaded holes that are there. I also had an old trunk that I bolted to it when going on a longer ride.

[Hap]

that looks nice and is what I am looking for

[OldSwartout]

If you look closely, you can see one of the rear mount (black) brackets welded to it about 5 inches behind the front mount.

It'll easily carry a case of beer home from the store.

A case of beer?  It's startin' to sound a little like the shout bos over at Do The Ton.
