Nice work, but you better go ahead and re-drill that back rod so the tour pac sets level and use two new shelf brackets while you're there. Wouldn't want any extra holes. lol
I thought I would throw up a few pics of my tourpak rack. I picked this little baby up off of eBay for $89+ shipping. It bolts right up to the wall and holds the tourpak AND a detachable backrest perfectly. One of the best "mods" I've purchased for this scoot.

Rough...
You guys are rough.... The reason I didn't drill the back hole lower (and hence make the tour pak level) is that it would potentially lower the back of the tour pak making it hit the wall and uprights. The rubbermaid shelf brackets actually need to be a few inches longer for things to work out perfect.
I thought things worked out "good enough", given the fact that I was putting up the rubbermaid rack anyways. I didn't feel like putting out extra funds for a custom made rack. And... I plan on decking out my whole garage in rubbermaid cabinets eventually. This is just the start. I just bought the house and started by painting the garage (harley colors), epoxy coating the floor, put in a wall gas blue flame heater and put in a water line for a hose.

You set-up looks real nice.
One thing I would suggest to you is if it is possible turn your tour pack around and mount it so when you pick it off the rack you are holding it so you can walk up behind the bike and put it on without needing to turn it around.
I welded up one and I had it mounted like you have yours and figured out it was easier to manage turned around.
This is not to criticize your work in any way. What you did looks great.
