Does anyone know if this is a factory rack for a 1986, I have never seen one like this before.

It sure is. I've got one sitting right here beside me on my desk. It is a rare item item for the '86. I remember when I bought mine that Carl said he had only seen a few of these. Would be willing to part with mine for the right price as I no longer own my '86.

this is a very rare item. it was only made for the 86 voyager. there was one made for the 87-03 models but it was a bit different. very few of the 86 racks were sold, most were returned to kawasaki and were destroyed. i saw a pallet full of returned accessories being sent to the crusher at Grand Rapids in the late 70s and am sure some of the racks were in the mix..the canvas bag that attached to the rack is an even more rare item...
