I was told on another web ring that there is a company that makes a rear rack for the FT, but their in New Zeland. I don´t recall the name of the company but Mark at thumperstuff.com was going to check with them on ordering from them. The shock mounts are covered by the side panels on the FT so that mounting a rear rack is a little tricky or so I am told. I have looked at mine and it looks like one could be mounted to the rear foot peg mounts. You may lose the rear pegs but most FT riders aren´t going to ride two up anyway. The other option I see is to have a solo seat made which would open up the passenger area for a rack that might be could be mounted to the back section of the seat pan. I don´t know how strong the seat pan is though, this might not work well.
