Default Looking for luggage platform

I'm looking for a one piece rack/platform to replace my pillion seat and stock plastic luggage rack that extends out over the tail light. Twalcomm USA shows one - the Expedition 2 - but I've been trying to get one since December and still no rack. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Build it yourself. Go to a metals supplier and purchase aluminum plate, probably about $10. Use cardboard for a template to get the mounting holes in the right place. Sand the aluminum and paint with Rustoleum metal spray paint. Mount with stainless fasteners. Total project less than $25.

This one is predrilled for extra fuel cannisters
and can mount on the rack too if you so choose.
