Rack for 03 xt600e

Hi peep's,

Go see your friendly yamaha dealer.. when i had an XTe '03 i looked into hepco becker and others, but the original yammie rack offered most bang for the buck (half the price of the HB, also has a built in U lock holder) only con is a crappy powdercoating, it flakes off minutes after you install it

i think its about £65/70? touratech do one too, but i dont know how much. if the yam one has a dodgy finish then i suggest waiting till it looks ropey then sandblasting it and getting it plated with something or painting properly

Why not get some custom made ones?

I had mine made by Colin Smith: 01895251145 last year and they rock.

Hi
The Yamaha rack is ok. I have been using one for the past couple of years on my XT 600e. The finish is not bullet proof by any means but mine still looks fine despite a few worn patches here and there.

Cheers.
