Luggage rack options

Im looking in getting a luggage rack that bolts to the rear of my bike...not for a top case and would like to keep the grab handles .... any suggestions ?

 

+1 on this; would like to hear suggestions

 

I bought the OEM topcase off of a member on here last year (Thanks again Jethro, hell of a price). I leave metal rack on for most of the summer, it's plenty handy, it has built in grab handles, and can be used to hold stuff with or without the acutal topcase.

Something to consider, if you can pick up just the metal rack.

 

YO GUJ, can you PLEASE let me know the manufacturer and can you post pictures...thanks

 

You get to keep your grab handles will having a topbox rack.Search for SW motech alum rack.

 

thanks violet I'll check it out

 

Just choose a suitable baseplate for your topbox

 

I like thats its light and compact but dont plan on getting a top box

 

My '07 has a Ventura rack.

Thanks David....think thats the rack Im getting but with the lower back $75 bones...very affordable

 

Sorry for the late response, I can snap some pics tonight if you still want, sounds like you found what your looking for though.

 

Ya that would be great. Do you know how much it weighs ? thanks man

 

It's heafty. I can weight it tomorrow, but my guess is 7-8lbs. I want to say the OEM top case was Givi, but I'll double check tonight.

 

Bottom line, I forgot to take a look last night. I apologize.

The basic Idea is like the pic below: it replaces the grab handles (it has handles built in tho) and leaves the passenger seat open (handy if you ride 2 up ever).

 

Guji...I like that one ..and it has handles which is great. Any time I google oem rack..cant seem to find that one. Is it made by Honda ? Thanks

 

I checked and it doesnt say who its made by anywhere on the rack. I just moved so I have to find the key to the top case, but I'll dig into it more this weekend. Sorry for dragging it out.

 

Thanks, was lookin at that Ventura low back , but with hardware were talkin $250 bones. Guji, I really like the one picture you posted----

 

08L42-MCW-100 is the part number for the luggage rack I have (pictured above). I did a quick search, $250.

 

Here is my setup:
