Has anyone found a picture of the rack fitted yet ? I've seen the rack, and where it bolts to, but no pictures of the two mated together, or how much of each side of the tail section has to be cut away (it says this in the instructions !).

I found this, fitted to the even newer MT-07

It could well be the same looking at it's shape.

I got one on my bike, and nothing had to be cut.
It's plug and play, except that you've to drill 8 holes :
-4 in the under seat protection to reveal the fixation bolts,
-4 in the rack.

You can have a look at the result on my bike there :

For the fitment this at the end of page 3.

Looks good. Out of experience, how much easier is it for the bike to rise on the rear wheel with luggage/passanger?

Thanks for that. Practical for sure.
But oh so ugly ! It ruins the lines of the rear end. Here's hoping some of the luggage makers do a much neater looking version real soon.

olivierzx has posted another picture up on the French forum of the mounts MT09 underseat.jpg

Those four points of contact would be great for mounting almost anything, rack, pannier rails, undertray etc.

SW Motech is in the process of making a much better looking rack, IMO.
