Hi all, for those who do not know I made a pillion seat rack to fit my 2006 R1200GS - this was all fine and dandy until some fellow Tossers wanted them for their more recent GS`s and the bugger would`nt fit 
Little did I know (oh ye (me) of little intelligence,
but I do my best!) but those tricky German Chappies had changed the rear pillion seat detail on recent models from 6 fasteners to only 4 
So, a fine chap from Oz (of all places - could not get further away eh?) ordered one to fit his recent R1200GS...........
Anyway, to cut a long story short and because I took out an insurance policy by way of selling my soul to the devil (to make it fit, eh?
) I made one which I thought would fit (dangerous..... don`t forget I am mostly clueless or drunk 
) and, well, bugger me sideways and spank me till I am rosy red but the bugger fitted! 
Here are the images showing moody pre-fit, fitted and rear post detail (showing the rear location points and how it fits around the GS OEM rack stem)
Once again, another piece of art
from the loins of Messer Hooton 
and, apparently, it also has a practical use! Woohoo!
(good job I can laugh at myself, eh?)
But seriously, it`s built well, seems to fit very well and is for sale if anyone wants one. Personally, I prefer the extended one I do as it can carry more but does not look as good as this puppy.

P.S. I am thinking of designing an extendable rack to fit the OEM GS rack - I think Touratw*t do one eight times as expensive as what mine would be and made with no love & care whatsoever, anyone interested?
