    Ask Damon at Cycleworks for quote. I now have a custom stainless steel luggage/pannier rack for the DR350 for about $300. Even if it is the same cost the money goes into our economy and you get a bespoke part, just like a toff would.

    Is NZ's number 8 wire thing disapearing? Years ago if there were problems sourcing something, you made it, and usually for cheaper.

    Kind of off the basic topic, but where have all the clever bastards gone.
    shite mate the "NZ's number 8 wire thing" is all over the XR
