Title: Rear Rack
Post by: seabeegt on February 28, 2014, 11:44:32 am: Found this on eBay for about $100. Very well made. CnC'd and powdercoated. Installation instructions sucked, but whatever. Holds my Kriega US-20 very well. And it turns out, this rack can be used for the RotoPax setup.

Might get some more Kriega softbags and a RotoPax 2.0 gal cube. I think it'll fit nicely. Just have to do the subframe bolt upgrade first.

Post by: seabeegt on March 09, 2014, 08:31:34 am: Right on dude. Bag setup works great for commuting. And YES, a Kriega US-20 will hold a 24 rack of Natty Light. 8)

Post by: Alabama Adventurer on March 11, 2014, 04:58:40 pm: I got the Kriega bag, still waiting the rack. I got an email today (after I asked about it) and they say I should have it by Friday and that they were having inventory issues...

Post by: seabeegt on March 12, 2014, 02:19:27 pm: Just remember when installing not to throw the rack through the damn wall (instructions suck!) U gotta attach the smaller plate on the underside very loosely to the main plate. Then ya attach the combo to the actual bike. Finally u snug everything evenly. Don't forget yer antisieze, I always had rust from those bolts before. :P

Post by: Philip Pino on January 12, 2016, 02:35:53 pm: Cliff, here is a picture of a one gallon rotopax mounted to the Nomadic rack. You don't need to worry about it getting melted by the exhaust. Only your turn signal.

Post by: seabeegt on January 12, 2016, 02:49:19 pm: It's fine with the cube on the rack. Nothing melts. The mounting bracket is a PIA to unbolt and remount, so I just leave my cube on there full time now. I just don't load it down with fuel if I'm riding locally.
