A few bucks worth of electrical supplies....
It needs some tweaking to get a better line of sight on the taillight, but it's a start.

It's unblievably sturdy. Could put a rumble seat out there and take the whole family, just like in the movies!

ok, so i'm giving up on my backordered rear rack.

how do you connect the conduit to the scooter? the guy at home depot couldn't even come up with any suggestions. we eventually found a complicated series of pieces, but seems like there should be something simpler.

The right angle connectors have a removable cover.
You just put a longer bolt down into the original grab handle bolt holes.
Then there is a single bolt in the center of the crossover pipe.

We did when I left on Friday, we should still have them. Give a call on Tuesday when we open, and I can get one out same day to you.

I'm interested in a parts list and measured drawing!

Yes, that is my scooter.
Yes, I wear a helmet and a FIRSTGEAR armored jacket.
No, I'm not embarrassed to be seen riding it.
Yes, that is an NRA sticker on the fender.

The black racks have been discontinued, and the chrome ones are at least a month out still. :(

Hmmmm...maybe I'll get Susan the "Limited Edition" Black Rack.... :P

Scooterville has the black ones in stock (don't even ask about the chrome ones--even the display on the demo Buddy got sold.).

Why were the black racks discontinued? Were there problems? Or just lack of interest?

No official word from Genuine, but there have been some problems with the racks, as described here:

Here are some tools to help get ECS their drawings - check out my companies free Computer Aided Design software www.cocreate.com/free

Please go and get a copy - we are only makeing it available for download for a few months, and it would be great for sharing designs on something like this.
