How do you think it looks are you happy with it cos thats all that matters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jezza 0 Posted May 14, 2012 I had the full rack system on the 650 I had , they were as ugly as hell however it was a pain in the arse to remove. so I left it on all the time as it was more use on the bike as it was used daily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
