KanadianKen Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I've got about 20 of the 5th Gen Solo Racks left - and I need them gone. Price of $140 USD includes shipping to Conti North America. You will have to source bolts and spacers (About $10) on your own. Paypal me at ken.irwin AT bell.net and i'll ship same day if possible - worst case next day. You will get an email with a tracking number. Thanks. Quote
0 Member Contributer JZH Posted August 23, 2016 Member Contributer Posted August 23, 2016 Could you supply some pictures, please? Cheers, Quote
0 wera803 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 If anyone thinks they may EVER want one of these, even if it is 5 years from now, buy it now!!!! I waited 2 years for Ken to make another batch and pushed him to do it. Even helped with fit up, installation instructions, etc. just to make it happen. After all of the work, I have a feeling he won't be making any more of these in the future (just my hunch). Quote
0 Member Contributer JZH Posted August 24, 2016 Member Contributer Posted August 24, 2016 I agree, hence my request for pictures! Ciao, Quote
0 wera803 Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Some more from my fit up with the Givi plate in place. Quote
0 Member Contributer JZH Posted August 24, 2016 Member Contributer Posted August 24, 2016 And its height is to allow the seat to be removed, is it? Cheers, Quote
0 wera803 Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 And its height is to allow the seat to be removed, is it? Cheers, That is correct. The latest version was actually lowered 1.5" from the original, which still allows plenty of room for the seat to be removed and installed. Quote
0 Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted August 25, 2016 Member Contributer Posted August 25, 2016 Which one clears the rear seat cowl? Or do both versions (tall and short) of the 5G solo rack clear the seat cowl? Quote
0 wera803 Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Which one clears the rear seat cowl? Or do both versions (tall and short) of the 5G solo rack clear the seat cowl? Both would if you trimmed the cowl to go around the mounting brackets. I have actually stuck a small tank bag between the seat and rack for extra storage on trips (without the cowl). Quote
0 Member Contributer auggius Posted August 25, 2016 Member Contributer Posted August 25, 2016 I'd love one for my 4th gen, but I guess that will never happen. Anybody with Solo Rack also have a 4th gen to see if an adapter could be easily fabricated? Quote
0 KanadianKen Posted September 25, 2016 Author Posted September 25, 2016 JZH -sorry i didn't respond. Got busy at end of August and wasn't on here much. I've decided that the price is going back to $140 USD shipped. I will not make another batch of the 5th gen solo racks again. Unfortunately the demand just isn't what it needs to be for me to at least make my money back. Get em while they exist! Thanks Quote
0 KanadianKen Posted October 23, 2016 Author Posted October 23, 2016 That is correct. Just the solo rack. Quote
0 MsRN98 Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 Ken--I may order one from you very soon. Do you know if I'd be able to mount SW-Motech pannier racks with your toprack in place? Quote
0 Member Contributer sfdownhill Posted December 6, 2016 Member Contributer Posted December 6, 2016 Hi Ken - do you still have any lingering 5th gen solo racks? Quote
0 wera803 Posted December 10, 2016 Posted December 10, 2016 Hi Ken - do you still have any lingering 5th gen solo racks? Ken asked me to reply for him since he is on a plane today. Yes, he has them still. PM him directly or he will respond to the thread when he can. Quote
0 Member Contributer sfdownhill Posted December 11, 2016 Member Contributer Posted December 11, 2016 Thanks wera - I've traded PMs with Ken. Quote
0 Guoseph Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I'll take one, sent you a PM. no hurry, happy holidays. Quote
0 jellow99 Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 On a Givi setup like wera803's above, does the passenger lose much seat room? It's hard to tell without seeing the top box on. (neither my wife nor I are particularly skinny..haha) Thanks! Quote
0 artpongs Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Ken how many more do you have left? I am in D.C. Art Quote
0 KanadianKen Posted February 17, 2017 Author Posted February 17, 2017 Art - I Pm'd you - I have about 15 of the 5th gen solo racks ready to go. Quote
0 artpongs Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 @wera803 what is the wire I see going up on your rack? Art Quote
0 wera803 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 [mention=1859]wera803[/mention] what is the wire I see going up on your rack? Art It is for the brake light in the Givi trunk. Quote
0 artpongs Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I need a solo rack but he stopped replying to my pm. Art Quote
