Jackal accessory question

[kingoffleece]

I use a solo seat on my 2001 Jackal.  I'd like to add a rack where the passenger seat would go.  Searching around the web I only found racks that would install behind the pillion, which would be way too far rearward.

Anybody able to point me in the right direction (for the rack, wise guys!)
Thx

I'd have one made the way I want it.

There used to be a factory rack, but I think it's NLA. Harper's is generally a good source for that kind of stuff, or Eish.. I'll rummage around and see if I have a picture.
Edit:
Ah, here ya go..

Chuck, have you kept up with this bike? Do you know what became of it?

as to the rack, I love that rack, have seen it in use on a bunch of bikes but have never seen one come available.

It went to Tennessee, then one day Brad and I were out riding, and saw it coming the other way in Wisconsin.  That's the only time I've seen it since. The last time I knew, it was in Pennsylvania.

I know exactly what you're talking about, but can't find a decent picture of the rack anywhere.
Contact John Fish, here or on Facebook; he has the very same rack on his solo seated Jackal.

Those curved racks look great, but the one I'm thinking of is flat though, more functional, and can handle a duffle or tail bag being strapped on. I'm pretty sure MG Cycle sold them at one point.

Chuck,
That's the ticket.  Gotta find one.
The J and P are all HD spaced.  That may be the way I have to go but I'd like to not drill the fender.

If you find one don't force it on, they are notorious for cracks. Do your best to make it fit with out spreading its mounts.

Hey KofF...curious to see what solo your using.

The rack that is on Chuck's side car rig is the one that I looked for for a long time and could not find. I did not want a fender mounted rack as it would be weight limited. So I had an old rack that I got in trade and cut off the mounts, fashioned some new mounts to fit where the pax seat attached on my Jackal, got out the old harbor freight welder, hit it with a can of spray paint and voila! It is stout, carries the needed weight and is so ugly you couldn't pay someone to steal it. However, I am sure it is not what you are looking for.

I have this one that the tab is broke off one shock mount. Give me a call for details.

[kingoffleece]

I found one.
THX all.
