My solution for larger top case with passenger seat
Bracket is made from 1.5"x1.5"x1/8" aluminum and attached to the bottom of the MAX Mount utilizing the existing 4 unused attachment points. The Top Case is this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Any pics with it sitting outside? Would like to see how it looks with that case hanging so far behind... hard to see in these pictures.
Side-view please .
Rainy day today, but here is side view.

I might steal your idea
One thing I'm monitoring is how close the bracket comes to the fender with a passenger.

Great job, looks fantastic. Did you make the washers or buy something?
-
How is it with case loaded and passenger ? Does it sag down much?
What length did you make the alum angle?

1. With just helmets and a jacket in the case there is no sagging.
2. Haven't had a passenger yet.
3. Brackets are 22.5 inches long.

What top cases will it work with? Is it universal?

Since it's home made it will work with what ever you make it for.

I really wouldn't be comfortable making a bracket for someone else. Sorry.
In any case the current bracket isn't going to work out. See my latest post with picture.

I was looking at that at Home Depot as well shelving hardware which is "[" shape, but a heat steel.

I'm considering that too. Hoping LaMonster Garage offers their rear rack soon.

Well, okay. But I do admire your handy work.

Wider. If the rack is wider than the fender, you gain more clearance. There should be a way to see where the shock bottoms out. Then build the rack above that. Just a thought. Great job. Joe

If you are using the stock spring 2 up that sag is waaaaay too much. Probably why Can An sells the 2 up spring.
