I was lucky enough to be the guinea pig for Kanadian Ken's new 5th gen Solo Racks. He has designed this one using much thicker steel and has it sitting an inch or two lower than the last version. I will tell you this thing is friggin beefy...you will not bend / ding / wreck this thing. Plus I think the new lower position looks much better. Here are a few pics I took today once I finally got it mounted. I would love to go test this thing on a 4-5 day trip soon, but that just aint in the card
