A few bits of stainless rod set acrossways into holes along the inside edges of the rails would be one tidy way of doing that.

I agree, having some basic storage on the back is super handy.
I went with a B&B rear rack without the vertical bar. Was about $220 nzd landed at my door.
The bonus for me is it works great with the luggage on top, but also works great just to strap stuff for the day trip.
