I've been out of stock on 6th Gen Solo Racks for some time, and wondered if there is interest in my doing up another run?

If you have a 6th Gen VFR (2002 - 2009) and want to buy a Solo Rack to use to mount a hard bag over the pillion location - please let me know.

One change will be happening with the new batch (if I do one) - and that will be the deletion of the laser cut VFR logo in the mount base.

Expected cost will be $120 USD.

Here are some pics of the Rack:

It mounts using the grab handles - and will still allow the seat to be removed - with the rack in place.

I need to make sure there are enough folks interested. (Minimum of 25 needed)

I will ship this anywhere - custom forms are no big deal. Pricing and shipping costs still to be firmed up.

Thanks.

Now that the wife has her own ride I am interested. That would allow me to remove the mounting bars that come with the Givi kit and allow me to put my solo seat cover on my bike for a change! :biggrin:

Edit: This will work with the Givi side case racks correct?

Interested!! Very, very interested!!

My current Givi plate is mounted to a Ventura sports rack, and that just bent way out of shape as soon as I had any weight in the box and hit a bump. :(

Thought about making my own but if you have them up and running already I'll take one. Put me on the list.

Mr. Ken, please add me to your list. This is a perfect product that I've been hoping you would do again! Thanks.

Top notch product from a top notch guy. You will not be disappointed!

YES - I run Givi side racks and cases - works just fine.

Good start to my survey so far - If I can get a couple 5 or 6 more YES's - then I shall go into the laboratory and get things going.

Need the YES's still....

Thanks all.

p.s. - if I do this run of Solo Racks - I'll be contributing 1 to the TMAC event as a prize for an attendee. I'll even install it at the event - come on MAY !!

Ok - I"m convinced that enough folks want one, to do another batch.

I'll get going on an ETA for finished product - and will update this as I find out. Typically I have to get the jobs squeezed into "downtime" at the shop I use - so I'm at the mercy of how good business is.

Thanks for the input - more details will come as soon as I get them.

(Sorry - no 5th Gen racks are going to be built at this time.)

*Edit* Nevermind. Had ants in the pants and bought another rack. This does look like a killer product, though!
