I thought I would post some pictures of a rear rack I made for my 2014 NC700X.
Custom Rack to use with Tusk Aluminum Pannier Boxes (Large)
This is a rack a designed and built to work with a pair of Tusk Panniers.
It takes about 5 minutes to install the rack. Four hex head bolts, and four 12mm bolts to attach to the lower frame.
The panniers are set into place that locked from the inside by a 1/2 bolt tightened form the inside of the pannier.
I still have more modification to make, but I wanted to get it painted so I can test it out.
I did mount it a bit forward, to keep the weight near the center of the rear axle. Though I did not plan, a passenger can sit on the rear seat with the rack and panniers in place. I'm still thinking about making a custom style DalePlate to access the fuel tank for when loaded with luggage.
I still have to paint and put on lock nuts on the brackets.
Pannier just drops in place, there is a hole on the top plate for a lock bolt that is secured from inside the pannier.
Initial plan... It changed a great deal once I started fabricating.
I will be also adding an attachment for fishing poles and additional equipment.

I'm still working on the fishing pole rack, top box..
