PACIFICMAN Posted May 8, 2022 Posted May 8, 2022 I have a new to me 2014 VFR. I am looking for a Rack / Tail rack for it. I had a Ventura system rack for my 6th Gen(s) and liked it very much. I remember a member on here that made rack that mounted similarly but don't know of anything for the 8th Gen. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Quote
Sparkie Posted May 8, 2022 Posted May 8, 2022 I have the factory rack. Btw it's the same rack for the seventh generation vfr1200 as the eighth gen vfr800. Quote

Thanks in advance. I believe your thinking of Kanadian Ken's Solo Rack for 5th and 6th gens. Nice piece of kit. AFAIK never made for 8th gen and no longer in production. https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/forums/topic/87933-kanadian-kens-solo-rack/ Quote
Member Contributer VFR78 Posted May 9, 2022 Member Contributer Posted May 9, 2022 Look at SW-Motech. I have one on my 2014. Much neater looking than other offerings. 1 Quote

PACIFICMAN Posted May 9, 2022 Author Posted May 9, 2022 VFR 78, Thanks for the response! That looks like what I would like to have. Can you tell me the Model / Part number and the Specific Fitment of that set up? I find nothing for the VFR800F at SW- Motec. But in this thread others have said units for the VFR1200X and 7th gen that fit our model. Please Advise... Quote
Member Contributer VFR78 Posted May 10, 2022 Member Contributer Posted May 10, 2022 Pacificman, I don’t have a part number. It looks like SW Motech may have discontinued the AluRac for our bike and I’ve given you a bum steer. I can’t find reference to it on the Aussie site anymore. Maybe it’s worth emailing the manufacturer direct, to see if they have any stock left. Sorry for the misdirection. Quote

Crash1973 Posted May 26, 2022 Posted May 26, 2022 Will the Shad pannier rack for the Crosstourer fit the 8th Gen? Specifically the Crosstourer 1200X (12-21) 3P System Mount H0CR12IF? I really need to get some hard bags and since the 8th Gen bags are unicorns and the Givi options are all out of stock, I am thinking about purchasing these. Just need to know if they will fit. Quote

Check the fitment against the listing for the 800. why not import the panniers. Loads of other folk have. Bear in mind it’s still in production in the ROW. Quote

It was a little pricey, but having the ignition key fit everything is absolutely worth it. Quote

I have trunks on a number of my bikes but not sure I want to change the aesthetics of this bike - it looks beautiful without. I found the Kriega US30 soft bag integrates very well on the rear seat with the built in hooks in that seat. Quote
