Bump.
For anyone else searching, there is a new rack (from hong kong) on ebay here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/310439820076?item=310439820076&frommaketrack=true&vie... (in case that link dies, search for seller "dream6625" and item "Backrest Sissy Bar Suzuki Savage LS400 LS650 87-97 #r" they also have a few other sissy bars but only one with a rack, which is the #r part)
I might pick it up and if so will report on its quality. Just emailed the seller to verify the rack and the bar come together for that price (~ $140 USD shipped) and a few questions about installation details. There are no current reviews of this item although I found one good ebay feedback (and no neg) on one of the other s40 sissybars with similar mounting (but no rack).
Also to add regarding the raask rack, I contacted them and want to mention the staff (Sivert) was very good about responding to my request and providing information. According to him, some countries had slightly different bikes and his carrier didn't fit there, I wasn't confident enough judging from the pics to buy one (the screw holes looked a little different from what is shown in my repair manual) but I encourage anyone who is looking for a rack to at least check them out because again his email support was very good. They are Sweden based.
At this point I'm thinking either that ebay one or the OEM (despite the weak weld reports, I'll just avoid heavy loads). If anyone knows other new options or has tried that one from ebay, info would be appreciated. It's unfortunately the OEM model seems so weak.
Attached a picture of the ebay rack. I'm wondering if it goes under the stock chrome piece that would be in that area, or just replaces it (which might not look very good). The OEM sissybar replaces that part but has identical styling, whereas this one is very flat. Thoughts?
