I Googled Kluge and came up with modern luggage n roof carrying systems??
I'm sure there's a rear rack out there somewhere that fits my bike :roll:

I have a spare set, powdercoated black, with welding reinforcements in a couple of spaces.
From the rear they're a tad asymmetrical (welding issue) but are strong. The powder coat is worn. They're the ones in my pic in my last post. $50 + post. Otherwise they're for ebay in a few weeks.

pm me if you're interested.
Cheers, Steve

Hi 2valve, thanks, though "I'm not chasing Pannier frames", I already have a set mounted.
I'm actually after a " Chrome Rear luggage Rack " the same as the one in the Photos above.
Having hell of a time finding one! All the Rear Racks I've found on Websites bolt onto the
Pannier frames, No good, I want it to bolt onto either side of the bike frame Re: photos above.

It looks like the one that Huckey's sell bolts to the pannier mounts too. Scroll half way down this page: http://www.bmwhucky.com/007546.html

Perhaps if you email him he has something else.

thanks anyway Guys!, yeah, that rack does look like it could be Custom made.
My friend is an Engineer, so I might see if he can modify the arms on the SWB luggage rack
I bought, then have the Rack rechromed?. Though it'll probably be alittle costly, atleast
in the end I'll have exactly what I want! Cheers BTJ.

hello guys

i am unclear on the fitting of the pannier racks, my Clymer Manual pictures are not altogether clear on the correct fititng, i am unsure on the blots and fittings needed to make it work, and it appears that some of the fittings go up under seat, its rather confusing.
