I would like a swivel rack system similar to MC. I like the bungee free design. I would buy a pair if someone made an aftermarket adapter to mount them on the alpha z tower.

I would just love a set of racks that did not cost me $800

That is the sweet thing about Samson. Now if they could just create a mirror that doesn't mount to the windshield.....????

Can you post a pic of those racks? I have not seen them. Do they mount as a direct replacement to the factory ones?

Yes. Samson includes everything you need to bolt them onto the Alpha Z tower in place of the factory racks, even the loctite you need. The adapter is specifically designed for the Alpha Z tower and is totally different from what they have for Nautiques, Malibu, etc. I cant take a picture and post, but it won't be today. I go from work to class tonight. I'll post as soon as I can.

Some nice close ups. I like the style of those sampsons a lot. Still wish they didn't need bungies.

I've got some numbers for you guys that pm'd me. They should be forthcoming.

Is this for non- Alpha Z owners as well?

They do different versions of the racks for different towers, including tube towers. They show some of them on their site:

I ordered the Tige factory racks with the Alpha Z tower, but I'm looking into adding one more rack to the tower so I can hold 6 boards (I had six-board capacity on my old tower, and I used it a lot).

Has anyone added racks to the Alpha Z anywhere other than where the factory racks are mounted? What I'm thinking of is using one with a "flat" mounting plate that could bolt directly to the side of the tower (like the one Samson shows for the Malibu Illusion towers). Of course, you'd need to tap new holes into the tower, which scares me a little.
