    Those two options are pretty much it for right now... Diamond R is in the final stages of getting theirs to market; if you can be patient, you'll have to choose between theirs and Gadget's...
    Happy shopping!

    JMO, not a big fan of hanging my valuable's to "Tupperware". Reciver hitch and a rack would be a better option in my book..

    That would be an option;albeit a more costly one...
    BRP hitch is about $500 I'm sure that it can be found cheaper, but that's a steep entry!
    figuring out the mounting of a box to that hitch has been done; but I don't think that anything is currently available for those of us who can't cut or weld...
    Was it Mastertek who figured all of this out?
    I'm just not coming up with his name at the moment...

    I have Inspector Gadget rack, works great. I do not know if he is site sonsor or not. It was not hard to install, but you have to be careful on drilling holes. It took 7 hours to dril the first hole in that 2 million piece of tupperware. Not really.
    Diamond R stuff all seems to be great.
    I am concerned about weight on the trailer hitch. That a solid to axle mount.

    I also have the I/G rack. Just used for a trip to SITA and it worked perfect. As long as you measure precisely, very easy install. I highly recommend!

    I opted for this set up. Decent quality and only $60. It does require a hitch. I went with the BRP version. Weighed everything, kept it 20% under the 40# maximum and off I went. It worked out incredibly well on my recent 3366 mile round trip to the Black Hills, Sturgis, etc..

    Like the look of this rascal. Did you use it on the Wing or Spyder ? If on a spyder do you have any pics ?

    Default Luggage racks

    Yep, found one. If anyone wants, I can take a closer shot this weekend.

    Its held in place on the hitch by the ball or a bolt. Once tight, the 2 Allen set screws which go through the plate are tightened and keep the plate from moving side to side. When we were 2 up, the rack is close to being horizontal.

    The rack is inserted into the mounting plate and held with 2 PTO pins. Really easy on and off. Takes a few seconds to flip the pin lock, pull the pins and slide the rack out.

    If you could , a couple closeups would be great .I have the hitch already and have a cooler carrier that has a reciever connect on it. Would be nice to adapt it to spyder ball hitch.
