    Does anyone know if Yamaha ever offered an OEM luggage rack for the 1981 XJ650 Maxim? If not, does anyone know of a source for aftermarket accessories
    that are made to fit this bike. Somebody posted a video of their XJ650 Maxim on YouTube and this bike had what appeared to be an OEM luggage rack that extended out behind the passenger seat. I notice on my own bike that there are
    mounting points on either side of the frame just under the seat. Is it possible that these points are made to accept the rack that I saw on You Tube?

    Yes they did (offer an "Official Factory Option" luggage rack.)

    They do pop up on eBay occasionally; good luck.

    I just sold one.

    A company called KG Engineering made the luggage rack.
