Does anybody make rack extensions anymore (except touratech).
 
Doesn't look any better than an offcut of alloy checkerplate. I know what I'd go for!
 
Just shows you, there really must be people who don't have to ask the price of what they want...
 
For what reason Paul?

I currently use a GSA rack without the top box to carry the camping gear.

Thought that if I could source a rack extension for a few quid I could sell the top-box and rack.

I don't like top boxes anyway.
 
get some alloy, and a hole cutter for the drill an make your own
 
BE carefull with any rack extension....

I've got a big one (ooer missis) that i made out of a bit of scrap ally chequer plate and a bit of angle grinder/drill work......The back end of a gs isn't very well supported in the first place and a load of off-roading coupled with a long tour and a pillion with some weight on the back snapped the frame on my lebbenfiddy:blast

It's now braced with a couple of fillets but if you do go for an extension, do the bracing first :blast

You can see how big the rack was from this pic...it's sticking out the back even under that big Ortlieb full of kit :eek:

Bill that bike is a credit to you :thumb2

I don't do two-up as the missus won't go near the thing (Its the devils spawn as far as she's concerned).

Just want it for carrying a light roll bag, typically sleeping bag.
