MotoSensation Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 I would like to have a 5th gen solo rack from Kanadian Ken. I pm him and yes he could do another batch but he needs 25 people to start a new batch. The batch is ONLY FOR 5th GEN. So here I am with 1 count towards hopefully a total of 25 soon. It would be nice KanadianKen to have a photo of your latest model (Profile and mounted on a 5th gen bike) and tell us the money details and how we can pay or reserve an order from you. I think that this rack with a Coocase is probably the best combination of cheap and quality luggage system money can buy. By June 2nd 2013, if we don't have the 25 counts I will need to remove myself from this list...so lets make it that way; Everybody listing there name in here as a yes for the solo rack, will need to find themselves another solution on their own for a solo rack after June 2nd if the 25 counts as not been reached. The reason is that later this fall I have a motorcycle trip. Thank you everybody, think about it...but not too long. Quote

However - that version of the rack used steel that would support a Volkswagen..... I had a look to see if I had any recent photos of the "Current" rendition of the rack, I'll have to take a couple tonight and will then post up. Quote

This is it, simple, sturdy closer to the rider. Awesome. Could you say that a passenger could sit also...looks like it but I know this is a SOLO RACK. Quote
AB-Oz Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I fear the shipping down here would be ridiculous... Quote
VFR4Lee Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 With a couple extra brackets you could convert it to a 12 O'Clock bar. Err, I mean, nice piece. But I did plan B a while back. If the list gets to 25 people - I will then ask for a deposit from each - of $75 USD via Paypal. Good idea Ken. Make sure they're committed. Quote
KanadianKen Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 I fear the shipping down here would be ridiculous... I've shipped several to OZ. I recall $45-50 Canadian to get it there - but it takes several months by Canada Post. With a couple extra brackets you could convert it to a 12 O'Clock bar. Err, I mean, nice piece. But I did plan B a while back. If the list gets to 25 people - I will then ask for a deposit from each - of $75 USD via Paypal. Good idea Ken. Make sure they're committed. Lee - I've never asked for $ up front before - but I can't afford to be holding that much tied up DEBT. Its the only way I'll do it again for the 5th gen bike - last time was a nightmare. Quote

Just hope if the list gets to 25+ you won't have a problem collecting the deposits. I hope it works out well for all involved. You make money, and 25+ people get a nice custom item. Quote

KanadianKen Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Actually - I'm a little surprised by how many have already signed up. Give it a week or two, the list may continue to grow.

AB-Oz Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 err, I'm still a question mark - KK if the postage was $50Canadia then what would be the total to get one downunder? rack + post (+ insurance in case they lose it on the slow boat)... Quote

Crewwolfy Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Might I suggest posting a heads-up thread in the 5th gen section? I don't come to the luggage section often, only happening upon this thread by chance.. Quote
