Hello - new here, but I found this thread after also contacting Altrider and finding out they no longer make the pillion rack for the Super Tenere. Once I found this thread, I wrote back to Altrider and said:
"There is a current forum going on in YmahaSuperTenere.com where people are wanting this option to be put back into production. Appears there are Super Tenere owners like me out there, who are finding little to no options for their Pillion rack, and resorting to making their own. I think you would have some immediate sales if you made some of these, myself included. The forum lists a response from Lyndell Jensen at Altrider, asking about community interest in this product. The post from 2/16/22 shows that message. Here is the link to the forum topic in question:
https://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?threads/any-options-available-for-a-rear-pillion-luggage-rack.30819/
Any way you guys might consider making these again?"
anyway, we'll see what they say...

That's the rear rack, which I actually already have. They used to also make one that replaced the rear seat. See the picture. That's the one we're trying to find.
ooops.....thanks for the correction!

Beat me to it. Wouldst that it were that simple. Had my heart racing for a minute until the link opened and I saw the picture. Damn!

+1 I like how it looks in the low position. I did the same with the stock rack in the lower position but I like the width and the attachment points on this, I might have to spring for a Nomadic rack as well. (I used the 'inline' positioning for a drybag and tent on a trip to Big Bend.)

Just personal preferences, sir. Some like a mid-rack with a little more substance to set things on and attach things to than the oem plastic piece provides. Some may think it looks a bit more "complete" with a pillion rack matching the tail rack. To each his own.

Thatd be a great idea for them to bring these back. Plenty of S10s sold used still. When I bought my gen 1, I wanted their plate. Little lady no longer rides and dont need the seat. I was surprised it was no longer available gen 1 or gen 2. Fortunately I was able to eventually get one used finally. Its a pretty basic setup and surprised its not set aside as an "available product" upon demand.

I went with this Altrider system for the simple reason it allows me to use the fuel and water Rotopax system for off the grid travels.
The Rotopax uses a retaining system that requires a solid mounting surface such as the Altrider racking. The OE surface is inadequate for that.
On top of the Rotopax I slip on the water/dust proof duffle for the journey.
There is no doubt, the S10 is the SUV of moto's, you can pack it like a mule for off grid excursions.
FYI, the Yamaha paniers system is replaced with my Mosko soft paniers when I go off grid for a while. But I do switch back to the Yamaha cases for the simple reason they are easier to use as a daily usage and rides especially on tarmac or grocery getter.

What mount are you using for the gas rotopax on the AR pillion rack?

In the first picture I show the Rotopax mounts in their relative locations but not mounted to the racking. When not in use I remove them because they stick up and get in the way of using the racks alone.
In the second picture you can see the location of the mounting holes to mount the Rotopax mounts.
The pillion rack I used a thread setter insert for easy on off mounting. While the rear rack just has 2 holes with bolt's.

I'd be interested in this. I've also had direct conversations with Lyndell from Altrider where he told me their leadership has killed the idea of bring theirs back due to the current shipping delays and materials shortages.
