Etrailer.com has a couple cheap racks.

Here is a simple, cheap one.

This one might probably look better on a crossover or a station wagon since it is a little sleeker.

Here are two types. I think the one Les has is a Conferr rack.

I use two types on mine. Yakima front and back with rod container

and Quick-N-Easy to hold the Yakima Space Case and shower.
The top picture shows the driver side with small open rack for fuel, water and in this case some trash.

Hey GrassCat, nice set-up. That's a pretty good idea. How have you liked the way they hold up?

I checked the Costco site and the 69.00 basic rack with fairing was still sold out.

I'm not sure what you mean, but I've had no trouble with the racks or the case. The case is great as it keeps things dry.
I leave the Yakima racks on most of the time as I used them to haul plywood and other long objects.

Also a note, you do not need to used the extensions Yakima recommends.
I use the Quick-N-Easy mounts with Yakima bars to mount the case, they are a little taller which alows the others to fit under the case. See pictures.
