cuffemdude Posted June 23, 2008 Share #1 Posted June 23, 2008 Anybody have any suggestions on a less expensive alternative to the Yamaha luggage rack for an '06 RSV? If so, are they relatively easy to install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V7Goose Posted June 23, 2008 Share #4 Posted June 23, 2008 As others have already pointed out, the Goldwing rack (that is what JCW sells) is often used on the RSV. But I advise caution, especially if you actually plan on using it a lot. Some owners have reported problems with lid cracking. Take a look at the Yamahaha rack - there are metal plates running front-to-back between the mounting bolts on BOTH the inside and outside of the trunk lid. These take virtually all of the stress from the rack. If you are going to use any other rack, I would STRONGLY suggest you use a large fender washer on the inside of each mounting bolt, and a large chrome washer on the outside. These will not distribute the stress near as well as the long padded plates, but it will help. Goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
