I have a newly acquired 2001 400ex that I want to add a rear rack to - and not the 6pack rack I see is fairly common, but a full rack like this Fuse Powersports Sport-rack (http://www.fuse-powersports.com/products/item_details.php?ProductID=0317-KDR9). My wife likes to ride double with me some times and go exploring, but she really likes having something other than me to hold onto - so this looks like it'll do the trick.
Here is the question, its advertised for an '05+ machine, I have an '01. I don't know much about the 400ex, but the second gen seems to have had some cosmetic changes, added reverse, other little things, but is mostly the same as far as the frame goes. Did the rear bumper/seat/plastics change at all? Thats really the only thing that might keep this from working on my '01. Anybody ever have one of these?
The manufacture responded to my inqury to let me know it may work, but they've never had any older machine to try it on, so they are unsure.
