This is a lovely piece of kit that allows you to carry stuff without spending $100's on a rack and baseplate that'll spoil the look of your bike.Detaches in 5 seconds

Fantastic idea and execution, looks great!!

I've been squeezing a full size paper shopping bag between pillion and seat in the same manner.A paper shopping bag holds 25 lbs at 90 mph.

I've seen a similar aluminum transport shelf for sale over the last few years. Did you make this one?

I didn't , MegaZ did and a good job he made of it too.

and a fraction of the price that other vendors charge

That gives me an idea:I've got several old passenger pillions I may rip apart and attach a storage container, shelf or pet cage. Old pillions reworked may make good haulers for longer runs.

LMAO! Did it go airborne at 91mph?

Nope. ....I've been restricted to ride conservatively under 91mph in California.
Please try the paper bag technique greater than 90 mph and report your results. Thx

nope, just a slightly creative mind

Steve sent me a template of the wide-frame pillion and I just adapted it to my earlier design.

I also have one for my 06 D worked flawlessly on my last 2000 + mile journey.Thanks again MegaZ.

This looked like a great idea.. all the way until I got down to my R and saw that the "sadle cut" between the seats are not the same on the R =( It's not a straight line and there are no real places on the frame/base to have the weight from luggage to rest on..

Surely you're joking!

Nope - do you have a better 'detaches in 5 seconds' rack? I'd love to see it.

 

[pfbmgd]

Can you post measurements of the piece that does between the seats ?

I like it for the quick detach option .

Yes, it's called a bungee luggage net.

And that fits round a tent and sleeping bag does it?
