.......for 2013 RSS. I have the OEM one, but it is so small and doesn't have any good attachment points for bungee cords. I was wondering what others might have done, besides put a rear trunk on with a rack mounted on top. Searched, but didn't find anything that worked.
Well if your talking about the sports rack, you just didn't search well lol ;p here are few I found & shared across the years. Best-worst, diy person may chime in:
Note the mount goes under seat:
This 1 is drilled & bolted to grab rails¿ (see the rust):
Unfortunately discontinued & unavailable why it's bottom of list:
Thanks, yes I did see the first 2, but not the second 2 you posted.
I'm not a do it yerselfer, because of Parkinson's
I was looking for something that maybe someone found the could bolt up to the sports rear rack (have a dealer that really helps me out).
Probably is something out there, I'll just keep looking.
:2thumbs::clap:You know a machinist? Here they made new lid (1/4 or 3/8 aluminum plate)& attached 4wheeler rack glad you have a helpful dealer they seem to be in short supply:dontknow: good luck & please post whatever you end up with:thumbup:Quote:

This vid shows more of why the base is needed https://youtu.be/sqmMhaUtg9EQuote:

Drilled four holes and used rubber seals to waterproof the whole this. Cut 1 inch plastic rod and drilled the bolt hole through the middleQuote:

Unfortunately none of them ship to NZ, checked a few times but will keep an eye out. Last time I asked a dealer here they wanted NZ$1400 (US$960) for the rack and lid :shocked:Quote:

Now have a rack, that works for me. Exactly what I was looking for. My brother has a motorcycle painting business and small machine shop, he made it work.
