Pics Request. Rear Rack/Carrier for Hard Luggage

I need to sort out a luggage rack for the back of my 1990 XT.

Anyone got some pictures or Links to where i can see them on the XT without the boxes on the rack. To give me an idea what to make.



Cheers
Pete

My Brother has a 02 XT and a full set of off road pannniers and accessories- it's the dogs!!!

He's been on about selling them for a while - he just hasn't been made the right offer....

He has the lot - Bespoke carriers, boxes and bags that go on top of the boxes. It's the real deal not shite either!!!

I built my own racks for my '90. I'm not sure if you can see them in these pictures, but here you are.





That's all I can find right now. But basically I just welded them out of 1/2" ID steel tubing, and painted them black.

Cheers for the pics they have certainly given me some more guidance.

Thanks for all the pics so far, but if anyone has anymore


@ T Tom, your brothers stuff sounds good but most probably out of my price range


Thanks again Everyone

One more thing...

Make sure you mount the cases higher than I did in the picture, they're too easy to scrape in the curves as they are. I'm in the process now of trying to figure out a way to modify them, or build new ones.

limit reset

there is no reset, simply you have to delete one or more pictures from your previous posts...
