Makes sense, but I'd caution against placing the rod too close to the plastic material of the cowl. You'd need some wiggle room to get the seat off/on.
The OEM luggage rack requires the cowl be notched in that gap, but on both sides where the gap covers the screws that hold the cowl in place. Once the rack is installed, the fittings on the rack hide the notches. I have an aftermarket replica of the OEM rack, and it installs the same way. Haven't installed it because I haven't decided whether I want that particular rack or the Ventura Bike Rack system (which does not require notching). That, and the fact that my cowl is brand spanky shiny new and pretty and I just can't bring myself to take a cutoff wheel to it (!)
