When our bikes were new Yamaha sold a number of accessories, most of which no one ever bought and to be honest I never saw any kind of catalogue for them at the dealers I visited, so didnt even know they existed until the internet came along.
One of these was a rack. Ever since I saw one I wanted one, I thought it would be useful and being rare it was also cool. Most of these sold in Japan and the USA from what I can tell and Ive never seen one on my travels, have you?
As a side project I'd been looking at making one of these (yeah for the longest time) as I wanted one and just could not find an OEM one. Then out of the blue a chap on the RDRZ500 forum who already makes racks for other bikes has decided to make some. His post is here: www.rzrd500.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14777
I was wondering if he might have had a better response if he had posted them on here instead, being more UK centric etc.
This is the racy looking unit im talking about, not a massive clunky thing for delivering pizzas
(pics of the OEM unit from Xavier's site of course)
Anyway, what do you think? worth his time and effort?
