Ginz Luggage Rack

[macxpert]

I only put the rack on (to hold the sissy bar bag) when the wife and I go on a ride usually overnight or a long day trip. So I got the bike all ready and it rained so hard this weekend that we decided to call the ride off. I set the pre load back to stock, took the back rest off and was about to take the rack off when I remembered that I had not put a photo of the Ginz rack up so I grabbed the camera and took a few shots in the garage.

Very nice. I see one of these in my near future.....I get so tired of back-packin' back and forth to work and I can use a bag on that to carry my crap!
Plus it really looks good.

Will that rack bolt on the small OEM sissy bar? Really like it....

BUMP for anyone who knows if this rack will fit the oem sissy bar..........

I don't know but it clamps on and the clamps are adjustable for mounting width. Measure the width of the factory bar from edge to edge and measure or give me the diameter of the bar used for the factory bar and I'll check against my rack.

OK will do Max. Thanks.....

Max, the small oem sissy bar is only about 5 - 51/2 inches wide (pretty narrow) and looks like about 5/8 or 11/16" in diameter. May be wrong on those measurements, but have PM'd Clueless to double check for me. Do you think the rack will work?

Yes that should work. The width is not really a problem because it is adjustable. The clamps are made for the Ginz bar and I think that is about 5/8 or 11/16. I'll measure the clamps when I get home from work today (it's Monday here in Oz) to see what bar they would fit but even if they are the wrong size it would be easy enough to make your own or use a piece of flat bar that goes the width of the sissy bar and clamps it all in one. Be sure and the measurements to me. Cheers

I measured the rack tonight and with the std clamps it will easily go down to 5" or a bit less. The clamps seem to be for an 11/16 bar but if the Honda bar is less than this it would be easy to build it up with a bit of plastic tubing like a garden hose.

Although the rack I have was invoiced a a Fury rack the instructions were for a universal fitting rack so I think you'd be fine with this rack. Give Teri a call at Ginz and she will help you out. Teri really looked after me and took the time to make sure she understood what I wanted so that they would get the order right the first time, and they did.

Really appreciate all the help Max. I do want one of these racks since they seem to be easy on, easy off. I have started another thread asking anyone who has an oem bar about the diameter. You are right, think the clamps are for an 11/16 bar, but should be able to make them work for a 5/8. Really looks nice on your bike and definitely serves a purpose for a long ride......
