I used a 1150GS rack (Pete's weren't available at the time), but I also had a topbox that I used too. So, in reverse order;

I obtained some nylon block and carved it to mimice the underside of the topbox, in the important places anyway. I then welded up a small subframe to hold the various pieces of nylon together. Bolted the racj to the subframe and away you go.

It was a very time intensive process, I'll be happy to show people it, but as for producing another this has to be a one off i'm afraid.

I'll get some photo's later.
