Finished my rear rack and panniers.

[ExtremeAntics]

Finally finished my rear rack/panniers build in preparation for my road trip in a weeks time. The oval number plates are to hide the racks when I have no bags fitted but still have the racks on. The whole assembly can be removed with 4 bolts and 2 screws similar to the factory panniers and sissy bar. The tail bag doubles as a tank bag allowing a duffel bag to go across the back. Have also modded the baffle in the CW Exhaust which definitely reduces the obnoxious factor of the exhaust.

And the rest

That looks great! You should put numbers on the round plates as if it were a race bike when not carrying luggage.

I especially like the luggage rack. Can you give some more info on that, please.

The racks are custom, built on the same mounting method as the Hepco & Becker panniers however I have modified these with the SW-Motech mounting hardware. To this I have mounted Burley Brand bags to round out the look.

Beautifully resolved and looks really great from every angle.....Perfect!

Those Burly bags really suit the bike - much better than the OEM ones imo

If your referring to the rack over the guard, I’m running a stainless threaded sleeve up through the silver trim on the back that are also the nuts for the pannier brackets. From there I have a custom stainless cage to keep the rack off the fender and then bolt the stock luggage rack to the frame. All designed to operate around a single sea.

This image shows the threaded sleeves coming through the trim.

Thanks for the info on that rear rack. It looks great and appears quite strong.
