My solution for larger top case with passenger seat

You could put a stiffer rear spring and or stiffer adj. shock. cueman

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

McMaster-carr, aluminium tubing stock with ¼" wall thickness
just a thought

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.

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.

The side edge that points down can be trimmed. You don't need all that "height" on it in order to make it strong.

Try and do a round cut, like an arch (similar with bridges support), following the contour of the wheel and reduce the side by half - don't go lower. That should be more than OK.
Also do some testing on how much weight it can actually take (if the bars are thick enough, I'm sure it can hold quite a bit).

Another idea will be try and find something similar but with a 135 degree angle, not 90 (but that might bend under the weight).
This way the edges will flare out, allowing to go around the wheel, hopefully.

I wanted to do it in the same way - but decided to fix it "over" the max-mount like here :
