was just wondering if you have made your own racks, or brought of the shelf.

Bags?...
I just doubled up the heatshields on my exhausts..
So exhaust ... space...extra heatshield (from logburner)...space...original heatshield.
Works great...no heat on outside shield.
made up bungies with clips to hook onto rearfootpegs and backplate

Bloody brilliant idea!!!!!!!

Nah, agree with Joe on this one. Keenly interested in PANNIER racks at present, given forthcoming rides. Don't really want to run the soft bags against the side panels. Looking at making some myself.

Other racks can wait until I've engineered a solution...

Cheers, Steve

Actually I also need some pannier racks so I can hide the new dents in my exhaust!

And sometimes you can use the racks as crashbars.

junk man joe are you talking hard or soft bags?most seem to be a rectangular portion behind the bag itself,with a mount to the rear footpeg,a mount or two the the rear upper subframe with a bar running around the back of the rear wheel to add further stability.I have been looking at lots of bikes and panniers would be on the wish list.most (except most BMW,s) seem to require a aftermarket bag,but i have found it difficult to find out how the bags mount to the frame.

Now why didn't someone tell me that BEFORE I went in Odlins with the Cycleworks pipe on - darn it!!
Hang on a mo, why didn't I put the stock exhaust on before I went in there?

Geez I'm thick sometimes!
