I have been designing some racks, here is one model. It is fully CNC machined in house from 6061-T6 aluminum and the Ski-Doo LINQ hardware bolts right on. I wanted something that would be easy to take off and put on that would give versatility to carry various types of cargo, gas jugs, packs, Pelican cases, other specific snowmobile bags/cases, and etc.
The rack weighs about 3.55 lbs. without the LINQ hardware, and about 4.3 lbs. with the hardware. It’s more than sturdy enough to carry as much weight as the LINQ mounts and sled can.<O

It has plenty of places to use straps, cord, rope, bungee cords, and etc. It is designed so the cord or bungee hooks have a place to attach to where it won't slip up and down the rails cause difficulty in the cord slipping and the load shifting. Most of the tie down places are smooth to keep from fraying straps and cords. The rack has plenty of room between it and the tunnel to hold the load up and avoid diminishing the cooling system capacity.<O</O

Plans are too make similar racks in a single version and also for the other sled brands too.<O</O

I'm planning to make them available in raw aluminum and powder coated. Price is being determined. If you have any comments and suggestions I would like to hear them.<O</O
Added 1/09/2015: Inside the side rails the dimension is 14.7" (37.38 cm) wide, length on the double rack pictured is 19.5" (495.3 cm). Overall height is 1.95" (4.953 cm) not counting the LINQ parts.
