You are a genius !!! Find a army duffle bag. I bet you could fit all the stuff in there. Still weigh the same, but easier to secure on the rack !!!

That's a great idea. I still have my old one somewhere I think.

They look good. Can the oxygen sensor be hooked up properly on these? Read somewhere that the Bassanis rust out quickly.


Thanks.The pipes are Freedom True Duals with fishtails. They have an O2 bung.

They're discontinued but track down Ray with AAA Exhaust in California. I think he bought all of the old stock.

Looks good and very practical.
Here in Holland we had also some luggage solutions.
I made some racks for the Roadstar and Midnight Star. By de Roadstar it is mounted on the fender bolts By the Midnight it cliks on the quick relase rail. And because there are many different riders I made many different sizes.



Building in progress.



Trespa plate on top, a lot of hooks for straps.



Upper side.



Various sizes for Roadstar and Midnight Star.

By the Midnight Star you put it in the rail and then you screw the hook on the inside to lock it up. Most of them were black powder coated, one of them was made in polished Stainless steel.



And it looks even very nice.
