rack looks fine - designed to suit the bike, assume the container in the images goes with it and that will be next, practicalities mean compromises sometimes. whole thing looks good though, about as good as it gets with luggage, smashing looking bike, massively out of my league.

Practicality over looks in my opinion. I had a givi rack for a top box on the bandit, It looked horrible and huge but for weekend trips it worked out brilliant. Gonna get a rack for the Z too but only fit when needed.

I did leave the rack on the bandit.....


The topbox looks bigger because of the angle I took the photo.
Like I said not the best looking thing but is very handy for weekends away without having to have the Mrs following in the car

Whatever rocks ya boat ive never really been into rallys and weekend aways with bikes untill our annual meet last year but i'd still not bring myself to attach any kind of luggage racks to a motorbike of mine im sorry... for me minus the other half for a weekend away i'd fit everything i needed to take in a ruck sack

Rucksack and bungee cords are all you need for a weekend away and an exciting ride

Going to get some of the "soft" panniers for next time I'm away

Thats the other reason why I want to try one,think it will hel mel on the back

I need and want a tourer or at least
something slightly more practical.

Wont be a B-King for me though.
No grab rail, small high seat,
bodywork stops pillion gripping with their legs.

...not to mention the annoying 16ltr fuel tank.


B-King makes a GREAT toy to clown about on,
it would annoy the hell out of me as a pillion/
tourer/weekend away bike.

Each to their own...

What is this camping of which you speak? Is it some sort of budget hotel with no trouser press? Me and daughter did a week away with a pannier of clothes each and the top box had shoes, laptop, camera gear, drinks and stuff - so about enough space for Dave's cleaning products and some ACF50

[fr499y 0]

i found a easy way around it without sacrificing rider comfort... take the misses, add one of these and fill it with the clothes



Had 2 standard KTM 950 exhausts in mine yesturday, with plenty of room to spare rofl.. bit heavy though o_O
