Hey Steve, try some of these links:

http://www.happy-trail.com/category.aspx?categoryID=787
And recently I have had an email from Roger Pioszak who runs adventure-motorcycle.com and he tells me that he will have a DR version of his brilliant Rack system with Pelican cases by late March/April.

I have some Moto-Sport pannier racks and have Pelican 1520 cases mounted on them on my '05 DR650. A very nice and sturdy system.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
