luggage racks
Just a quick question which has probably been asked and answered several times but as i cant use the search function so, can luggage racks from earlier/later models fit a 1991 xt 600e 3tb? Mainly the side mounts as i have some big throw over soft luggage but the exhaust obviously is there.

I probably will end up making some, cant afford or justify the new prices and they rarely appear for sale secondhand. Will look on the other site n see if i can find yours.

You can get the gist of how they go from that,used a plumbers pipe bending spring to bend the tubes,worked a treat,rest of it was pretty simple..

I bought an 'official' Yamaha accessory rear rack for my 1994 3TB. Yamaha advertise them as being suitable for all years. Not true. I was only able to fit it by cutting some of the tailpiece plastic and packing out the right-side mount with about 25mm worth of washers. I have checked on a 4PT model, and it would fit perfectly. Not sure how this would apply to pannier frames etc, but the mounting points have certainly changed over the years.

rack
Yep, we have a Motech rack. Fits nice and seems strong , have a large dispatcher's top box bolted onto it . Bought it from a place in Farnborough a couple of years ago after mucho hunting.
