It doesn't need a rack, neither does it bolt on!

It's a reasonably well thought out design as the bottom of the top box fits into the slots on the rack of the bike and locks in place via the key/lock.

The locking system can be a little awkward at times, they are prone to sticking or even jamming up of you don't treat them with sympathy. Lots of people complain about this, but I had a topbox and it was fine - just kept it well lubricated and wasn't 'hamfisted' (as we same oop norf) with it, it served me well.
