**chatocestoni** · #1 20 May 2007

Hello , everyone I need some help on this , need to know if someone has a hepco & becker rear luggage mounts with gobi bags on any AT, I´m looking to buy those but I believe the rear luggage mounts are a bit too high , does anyone know or seen one AT with this sistem? does anyone heard about problems with this system because of the height? whats your opinion on this? , because I looked on H&B website and not many info and just one pic, and not a good one by the way.

thanks for your help.

Ricardo.

If I am not mistaken I have seen a AT with a H&B-rack. To prevent the cases to stick out to much on the right side it is very high. Above the exhaust.
It also does not seem to be very strong, but I guess that is usually the case.

Personally i did not like it, but then again, I do not like any of the available systems. I ended up building my own super-slim-africa-twin.

Hope this helps
Maarten
