A common failure of those. Comes from a combination of loading and pressing back against the rest. It's the point of highest stress. Get somebody to insert a solid rod into the pieces and weld with a nickel rod. That way the weld won't rust and it looks passable. That is an after market rack.

My daughter was on the back of my bike and she noticed the sissy bar was sitting further back than normal. So I pulled over (thankfully I was only a block or so from home) and I noticed that the grab bar which bolts at the top of the rear shocks and raps around the back of the seat had snapped in two places!! My luggage rack bolts onto the stock grab bar, so that's why the sissy bar had fallen backwards some. I've attached a picture. The break has been circled and is repeated in almost the exact spot on the other side. I have NO IDEA when this took place and I know that I've never placed anything heavier than a second helmet on that luggage rack. Anyone ever had this happen to them before? What a pain!!
