It was Kevin Graham Butler (KGB) or Lowrider1263 (on here) who used to post on the Tenere forum, he briefly posted on here as well, he had half a dozen racks made & sold them all & then decided to sell all his Tenere stuff & quit the forums.

Somebody should look at getting a batch made, they are pretty simple things to make.

And there is no point putting out a post asking if people are interested (yawn) just go ahead & make some (fifty or so) they will sell eventually, if i had a workshop i would be making them myself, along with pannier racks & centre stands.

You could try Riky Cross Racing, he used to make them & worth asking if he still does them?

Thanks chaps..
I'm on the Tenere forum, but joined here in the hope of one being in the UK.
Id seen racks advertised from years ago and was just chucking the question out there. Ricky is still doing them for 90 euros but shipping is 50 euros..

If I had a plan I'd look into getting a batch made...

Thanks again..

indeed, 50 euros shipping italy- UK is steep....



not sure you'd get a batch sold that easily, if no one else (even with a workshop) is making them, demand must be really low and with the negative impact on steering, front racks where never very popular anyway.. I know I would NOT want one



would try adapting something from a more current model, DR650 is still quite popular in USA or another adventure bike


there are some guys in eastern europe, i think ukraine, making stuff, low labour rates...cant remember name



even this one could work, though youll end paying the same as the rocky....
