I'm considering buying either the Touratech or the SW Motech rack. They both look similar apart from the colour but I'd like to fit the lightest one.
Having the SW Motech one on my Versys 650 I know it's quite heavy (and well made), has anyone tried both or either?

Sorry, not tried either of those but bought this one for my Tenere and very happy with it - http://www.zenoverland.com/luggage-p...age-plate.html

looks like a very well made rack; I'll consider it but think it might be a bit too wide. I like the size of the Touratech smaller rack but I'm sure the quality is not as good as the Zen.

Have you seen http://www.altechdesigns.co.uk/11-luggage-racks He has 3 sizes.

I've just made my own by hand to fit an old hepco+becker topboks with a univeral tube rack.

H+B makes a special rack for it (€140) but it would but the box so far back that i would not be able to open the sidecases.

Yes i need to take it apart again and paint it (and they last 4 bolts has been put in with self-locking nuts below. 5mm alu is not much thread)

I have the small Touratech one. It's perfectly well made and looks very smart. Unless you plan to carry a huge roll bag I can't see any issues with it. They do do a larger one too. If you want big luggage carrying capacity, it's not the one for you, but if you want something that looks nice when not in use, then in my opinion, this is the one to have.

thanks for the replies guys; MB4807 I think the small TT is just too small, looks neat though. I like the altech design ones, not heard of them before, thanks for that Majland. How are you getting on with your Pivotpegz?

Hi all,

It's me that makes the Altech Designs luggage plates. I made some last year for a few people along with a few other bits and set up the website to make it easier for folks to buy them.

Weight wise, the smallest one is just 1kg, the medium 1.3kg and largest one is about 1.6kg. I've got the medium and large in stock but run out of small ones. Although I have a small one with minor powder coating blemish on the side that I'll sell cheap.

Gabe at zenoverland makes some great products also. I made the racks with the tenere looks in mind so the racks follow the lines of the bike nicely. The medium and large can both accomodate 40l roll bags. I use the small one for a small bag for my daily use to work.

If you are interested, give me a shout or you can buy direct from the website.

Al.

I've got the large TT rack but I haven't mounted it yet. Waiting for spring and decent temperatures since I don't have any place to do it indoors. Todays it's snowing so it might take a while.

I bought my bike very late last year so apart from the test ride I haven't ridden it yet. I've got a ton of stuff to put on the bike by know, including new suspension from �hlins, so I'm really looking forward to spring.
