Well if no one else is going to do it, I will. This is the rack that I built to fit a nytro xtx. Because of the minimal space on the tunnel and the exhaust, the back mount points are on the factory hitch plate. It's just the rack but I will try to get some pictures of it instaled on the sled. I don't like the look of bolts to hold this kind of stuff on so I hid them. Once installed it will look like it is just sitting there. The customer was extremly happy with the result.
Here is how I hid the mount point. I welded nuts to the inside of the square tube and then welded the plate to the tube

Nice job bud! Can you build one to fit a venture and leave the passeger back rest on?

Shouldn't be a problem. I have a buddy that has a 07 venture that I could get measurements from. You just have to let me know the particulars. Send me a pm.

MAN, I sure like your guys racks better than mine. ALOT better.
The guy I built the rack for showed it to a few of his freinds and now I have an order to make 3 more of them. Good thing I built a jig for it before I gave it to him.
I am in the process of building a rack for myself for my upcoming 3 day sled trip. I am going to put some seat jack mounts on my sled so that I can also use the seatjack (for my 6 year old daughter)that is on my wifes sled on my sled. The rack will be made mount to them. That way it can be removed easily and I don't have to have it on all the time. I never did like the look of a sled with a cargo rack, but I need one ocassionaly. I have some saddle bags from when I did some cycle touring (When I was in shape) that I want to try to incorporate into the design. They will hook onto the sides of the rack and I will have the 12"x14" rack for other stuff. They will also be removeable from the rack. I hope it works out.

Well I finally had some time to finish my rack and It turned out pretty good. I built it so that I could mount some mountain bike saddle bags that I had from my mountain biking days. They can be taken off in about 10 seconds and the whole rack can be taken off on about 60 seconds. It is mounted to the sled the same way the seat jack is. I just used the existing seat jack mounts and built the rack to fit. I just have to send it off to powdercoat now.
