Anyone around who wants to sell/upgrade/ change their luggage racks? Anything considered. Only really needed as "stand-off" racks for softbags to not droop into the rear wheel/exhausts...and keeping the bodywork intact). Edit: that's side-racks, primarily
I'm working on that subject but it won't be before next winter due to lack time at the company who's interested in possibly making proper expedition type of racks for soft luggage.
I bought Aluminium SW Motech rear rack (not side racks) ,can fit a top case. It just didnt sem strong enough to take serious load. Probably will sell it . Making a rear rack to stand up for greater load. Had to find a mandrel pipe bender...coz I want to bend my own pipe...
I would purchase a Nomadic Rack off Ebay and never look back. I couldn't be happier with mine. They go for $100. They say 25lbs but it will take double that on the nastiest road you can find.
Yep, That and a top rack as well designed and built by the man who made the same for the BMW 650 X series. Proven reliabillty by Walter Colebatch !
Check out BRMoto.com I am running his side racks and top rack. Very beefy. I dumped it in the sand doing about 30 mph and the side racks saved the side panels. The only damage to the side racks is one small scrape. I am very happy with his racks.
I've gottem too Glitch, bullet proof. Been down three times now, once fully loaded and going fast. no damage to the racks or the plastics.
