I looked for a rack for my 80 KZ1000 and couldnt find anything decent so I fabricated my own. I used 1/2x1/2 square tubing, I made mine conect in the same place that the original grab bar connected. Wasnt that hard to build just be careful with your measurements. I painted mine black but it could be really cleaned and ground smooth and cromed. I will post a pic soon.

I should have clarified, I guess what I'm looking for is more like these:

www.kandgcycles.com/26715.html

I'm not sure what to look for as far as dimensions or models go. You mentioned that searching out Honda luggage racks would yield something I could work with, is there a certain standard size of these rear grab bars?

My best plan so far is to bolt a piece of metal on there, I lack the shop to do anything more advanced like bhardy. I have (1) Drill, a few bits and bolts, (1) Dremel that I abuse for cutting metal.

If you want saddlebag supports, then perhaps the K&G unit isn't what you're looking for. As for their availablility... Apparently, I guess, the K&G luggage racks were popular w the CB750 & CB900 owners. As mentioned, they're listed many ways. A search over a period of weeks or months using various search terms (Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, vintage rack, K&G, etc) ought to yield a number of results for the style in the photo I provided. There are other racks out there - the KGs just seem the most common. I've even seen them in black.

I have a few unanswered questions here. I've relocated my taillights, but I'm not sure where to go for saddle bag supports.
I found nothing on ebay or the web for any terms I could think of searching, so I've come here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and here's a photo for good luck.

Maybe one of these ebay offerings might suffice, but am uncertain of exact model application.

Edit -- Oops, just noticed about interest in saddle bag supports as opposed to luggage rack.

Good Fortune! :)
