Back to luggage racks!

Mine is made by a company called SPAAN. I don't know if you can get them in America (I live in Tenerife) but they fit to the two bolts either side of the rear mudguards (or fenders as you Yanks call them) They're really easy to fit, but the problem is that they ALL come with backrests, so if you put a box such as a Shad (I don't know if you have those in America) on the rack, you can't open it for the backrest. I overcame this by removing the (removable) backrest & replacing it with a short piece of 15 mm square hollow steel rod, to act as a packer between the side support arms & the rack. The box itself acts as a backrest for the pillion passenger.
