I want a Rack for Crimbo any advice

[flat twin]

Hi All
I need to pick some brains.
The wife wants to buy me a prezzie for crimbo and I want a rack to carry a tent, sleeping bag on etc. I have boxes but not a top box and I carry my lad as a passenger so I need just a good rack that does not need to carry a top box.
Any ideas, Linc's, advice, you can give me.

I have a 1150 GSA too and was looking for a rack for a while. For some reason, I found a number of racks for the standard 1150s, but very few for the Adventure. You'd think it was the other way round, but it isn't. I would have bought one from RUGGED ROADS but they don't make them yet, but I know it was suggested - coz I suggested it.

In the end I went for the Touratech rack and it's fantastic. See HERE.

In fact I wish I'd bought one years ago.

You may need to buy 2 longer bolts though Flat Twin- for some reason the 2 bolts that came with it were too short. Wasn't a big problem though.

I am assuming that as you live where you do, you are not intending your "Rack" to be that vulgar american euphamism but rather an aid to carrying luggage.
I therefore endorse the views of Taff.

Not sure if Reyno does them for the GSA but worth droping him a pm the ones he makes for std 1150s are well made and excellent value.
