Hi Everyone,

I have made the plunge and now am the stoked owner of a 1996 ZZR 1100. I would however, like to get a hard luggage mounting/ rack system for this bike so I can convince the better half to come along for some extended rides. I have searched the interweb extensively and it appears that there is no longer a lot available. So my questions are thus:

1) Does anyone have a ZZR and has retro fitted a hard luggage system from any provider- do you have a recomendation?
2) Which NZ outlet/ supplier is worth talking to?
3) Are there any mounting systems that fit other makes or later model bikes that can be modified to work?

I have read every post I could find on this forum and several others but either I am missing a magic key word or its not a common topic. I also note that a ZZR is not a BMW :-) but this bike is a keeper so want to extend its use.

Thanks for your time.

Roddy

Congratulations on the ZZR purchase. They're simply superb bikes in my opinion & I'll always regret parting with mine (why can't women understand that there is nothing wrong with having more than one big-bore Kawasaki in the shed?)

Not too sure about the luggage thing but I'd reccomend getting in touch with Dold Industries in Hamihole, agents for Ventura.

This isnt available? http://www.ventura-bike.com/fitments.aspx?modelid=458

Also, the zrxoc and zrxoa sites are good resources for anything with a "zr" in it :P (and welcome to the club.. mines a zrx, but hey.. :P)

Thanks for the replies guys, glad to be on board. What I am looking for is a monolock style system similar to a givi style box setup so the wife can use the back/ topbox as a back rest.

Something like the GIVI 46

What the problem is is the mounting system- I am looking for something like this:
