Rear Luggage Carrier

Did Honda make a luggage carrier for the 305 Dreams?
Here is one listed on ebay like the one which was on mine.
I thought it was a homemade attachment of some generic rack?

I'll try this again with pics.
This was cobbled onto the back of my CA77 when I got it. It was cantilevered out behind the seat on some home made straps originating at the seat mount bolts, and connected to the license plate bolts on the other end! Didn't figure it was a stock accessory.
It does look similar to some racks installed on the rear fender on solo seat models, but seems too narrow for the 305 fender.
Maybe for a 160??

I'd say early trail 90, AKA CT200

I took a look at my Bill silver's guide and, checking out the accessories catalogue, I saw several examples of luggage racks specifically for the Dream. :)

I've got both the Restoration and Motor Guide form Silver, but neither have an accessories section.
Is there another version?
There is a page in one of the books of a dream with a solo seat and a similar looking rack mounted on the fender behind it, and that is what I would like to do with mine.

The 1962 parts book I have shows the steel Luggage Carrier as part number C70475E.
Also shows a Pillion Seat (seat cushion) to mount the the Carrier. C704921
I don't think it was/is an accessory but a normal issue part for the (early/domestic) single seat C72/77.

To answer your question. Yes, Honda made a carrier just for the CA77.
It is a domestic part, with lift handle (left front )and front grab rail.
I bought one out of Japan and it's on my 69 Dream.
If you go to the classifieds, page 4, you can see another pic of the carrier. All is still for sale for what the ad shows.
Yes, I bobbed the rear of the shock struts for a bag mount project, they are spares. Scram64
