Keith,I made my own by buying an old Tower rack from a breakers yard and welding two pieces of sturdy tube onto it then welding threaded inserts into the ends of the tube. Then I had it powder coated. I must warn you that however strong the tubes are the racks can put a stress on the fibreglass back panel as the frame underneath has a tendency to bend -just don't overload it with heavy stuff. It won't show up immediately if you overload it but after a few thousand miles the glass fibre will show micro cracks in the paint.I expect anyone with a mig welder and a hacksaw could fabricate one. Good luck and if you want more details get in touch.BWBob O'Neill
