nomad luggage rack

Still looking for that yamaha luggage rack that supposedely bolts up to the 08 Nomad!
Anyone have one or know what else might work without drilling new holes? I really like the "solo" look.

Look for a rack that fits a 1983-2005 (I think) Harley sportster. The mounting holes line up just right between the seat mounting bolts. They are also readily available and inexpensive.

eBay pics look like a single mounting hole front and back. Can you (or anyone) confirm/deny this? Not too tough to drill new holes in the rack provided the space is there but I'm not about to drill new holes in my bike.

I had one on my 2007 Nomad. It fits, no drilling necessary. That's why I said "the holes line up just right".

Sorry - It is a rack from an '85-'03 Sportster (not '83-'05). Here's a picture of it on my former bike:

I have the exact same Sportster solo rack. Works great!

I see how it fits in Jareds pic. The single bolt hole goes under the front seat bolt. I was thinking it bolted where the passenger seat mount is/was. Great looking bikes, both of ya!
