Would you make another one & send to NC? My wife is no longer able to ride & I would love to mount a top case where the passenger seat is currently located.
Unfortunately life got busy for me at the current moment. I'm struggling to find time to ride.

Just wanted to Share my Solution to the pinion rack. I’m new to the S10, liked the look and was disappointed the pillion rack seemed to be no longer available.

I ordered a Tail Rack off Amazon for a dr650 ($80). Cut the tabs off with a dremel and then ordered a pillion seat off one of the parts sites, Got mine for $150 but they range from there to $200. Took the Seat Cover and Padding Off, Painted the Seat pan Black, and mounted the Dr650 Tail Rack to the Seat Pan. Maybe better options for the rack but it Mounts just like the Pillion seat. Also, the pillion seat cover was just held on my staples and the padding on mine was not glued so if your careful it would be possible to just modify your existing pillion seat and is you decided you wanted the seat again, it should be possible to convert it back. That Saves ¾ the cost. I bought the second seat, as Its Easy to swap them out. The pick is
how it looks with an AltRider tail rack in the low position.
Do you think it would be possible to do the mods you did to the DR650 rack and then bolt it onto the block that MamaYama provides under the pillion seat?

I took my seat off, and also removed the OEM rear rack, replacing it with a flat plate from Happy Trails that cost about $80 (I think). Makes it so easy to just strap down a dry bag and go, with the bonus that it lowers the height overall. Works for me. :D
