XTR Rack
Gerhard Beukes asked me if I could do a rack for him for his 660R and co-incidently while I was giving it some thought, the same week, my best mate who has a 660R, had a mishap after a visit to the hardware store to buy 5 litres of ceiling paint. Well, he strapped the paint to the back of his seat (no rack) and headed home. Yes you guessed, he hit a bump, the lid popped off and he and his bike was covered in white paint. We had a good laugh but I promised to make him a rack.
Finally its done, and it has some sexy curves. Still to be anodised though. Gerhard, this is yours my friend, just in time for Christmas. Last edited by GStry; 10-12-10 at 22:46. |

XT660R Rack
I've made four, two have been sold and I won't make anymore until after Jan 15th next year, everyone shuts down for Christmas here on the 15th Dec,and I would also like to see how well they work before I make more.
It is very sturdy, 6mm marine grade ali and quite a good size, roughly 300mm x300mm rack surface. I will post some pics once it's anodised and mounted around the end of next week. Hopefully Gerhard will post some before and after pics of his bike. You have some pretty cool mods on your bike :-) Last edited by GStry; 10-12-10 at 23:17. |

Hi GStry, as i said before, i cannot wait to have it as a From Gerhard -To Gerhard Xmas gift. Will post photos of course, let me get it and fit it first.
Can i say it should fit perfectly for the XTX's out there as well, i had many adventures on my XTX before i was converted to a RRRRR, and a rack on the back really is a must. This is a much better alternative to any of those expensive racks from Yamaha and one or 2 other manufacturers- most of those racks looks like it has anorexia anyway and i still have to see it withstand long trips loaded with more than just a sleeping bag. Searching the web for XT racks does not bring up allot op solutions, and this is the best i have seen so far. Geoff , you will be moving few of these soon...less flying and more manufacturing coming up for you in 2011. GB |

Hey, what is it with you guys there in KZN and the paint....just in last week there was newspaper report of 3 people in car with big drums of paint on the back seat. They had accident in Pinetown and all 3 was covered in paint, the little Fiat Palio was also completely covered in white coat in the inside...deleted the photos already from my pc, but it was very funny seeing very white people on the street corners...will look for photo or 2 on News24.
