I am looking for some pictures, input and ideas to design and build a cargo rack for my 03 rx1 and my wifes 06 attack. I have my own tubing bender and 3/4" square tube dies, as well as a cad tube bending program, so thats not an issue. If I/you can dream it I can build it. The rack would only have to be big enough to take small packs to the ice shack. I was wondering if any of you have any ideas or have built one that works good and is not to bulky. I want it to be useable but not take away from the sleek look of the sleds, if that is possible. I am thinking that it will have to be made to sit above the exhaust unless I get some exhaust tips to devert the exhaust out to the side of the sled. Both sleds have 136" tracks so there is around a foot of tunnel behind the seat for a rack if the exhaust tips would work. Any help would be appreiciated.

Now that is sweet! Why don't they have that for vector? After all vector is a touring / cross country sled! That rack would be perfect to attach saddlebags! I want one! Maybe I'll talk to my buddy who welds aluminum about a custom one like that. What a great idea!

I've got one of these racks that will fit a vector. Send me a PM if interested. It mounts a little different than the one pictured. I removed it from a shorty rx-1. Rx-1 and vector are same tunnel.

I got one of these racks brand new if you want to start with that as a base. It doens't have the rear supports as that is a seperate part number but with a alittle creativitiy on mounting it would save you a ton of time. I was going to make a hinge for it so it would rotate up towards the handlebars so I could access the trunk on my apex. Storage needs changes so I dont need it anymore.

Kinger, I will keep that in mind and once actualy figure out what I want for a design, I may give you a shout.
