Great addition to a stella!

Don't let these other reviews scare you away from purchasing this rack for your Stella.  I have a 2003 2T Stella and if you READ THE ITEM DESCRIPTION: it mentions that you have to purchase the long seat pin for the rack to be installed correctly.  The bolts are just barely long enough to fit but I would pick up longer bolts and more washers at the hardware store.  I had no problem installing this rack.  The backrest is just a velcro "pillow" so you could probably get recovered in brown or any color if it doesn't match.

Great options, bad for Stella 4T

I purchased this item based on the other review and it sounded like a crazy awesome rear rack.  But installing it on my brand new Stella 4T was a nightmare.

It ships with three holes to mount, two for the bolts near the gas tank and one where the seat post simply slides through.  My Stella had two extra bolts on either side of the seat post, and the seat post itself was 2x larger than the hole it was meant to go through.

After hours of dremel work and drilling extra holes it fits, but now the seat no longer clips down onto the post.  Every single bolt needed to be replaced as none of the current bolts were long enough.  You also need a few washers to raise the back, as the body slopes away and doesn't cooperate well with the racks bind plate.

Other than the installation nightmare, it's a great rack.  Lots of space and can hold a reasonable amount of weight.  Just make sure you know what you are getting into when you purchase it.

Sharp!

(This was installed on my 2004 Stella)

This rack/seat has multiple options that make it stand out. The low profile back, the wrap around grab rails (which double as great cargo hold with a spider net) and my favorite, the spare tire holder which I actually use as a secondary storage unit for my messenger bag which keeps the rear rack free for other items (like a case of beer). 

The downside to this is that it doesn't come with hardware and uses your existing bolts under the seat (2 bolts and the seat latch). I had to really play around with the seat latch to get that to work and ended up adding some washers to raise the height of it. The bolts are simply too short and I had to take a trip to the hardware store for some longer bolts. Just something to keep in mind.

But overall it's the best looking seat/rear rack out there and definitely worth every penny. Plus your passenger will be grateful of extra sense of security.
