You did get the email address right,
but as I'm sure you can appreciate these
things do take time.

The cost of developing and fitting a rack to your bike
will be approximately £ 850.00p + VAT.

We shall require the bike for about 7 - 10 working days.

As per your last email we have a photo of the rack,
so if you have an old rack that will be helpful.

Regards

This would only be sensible if 20 people wanted racks as the £1020 inc VAT is only the set-up fee.
I am now looking locally to see if I can design and fabricate ONE locally. If it's successful I will get back on here with photos.

Please note that the replies above do not tally with the e-mails I received.

£ 850.00p Fu@k you could buy a whole bike for that. As a fabricator this is a complete rip off!! it's $20 for material $40 for powder-coating and around 3 hours work. if i was to make it that's about $250 for a one off.....does anyone have any more photos of this "rack" and can give approximate dimensions. I'll drag the thunderbird (XT600e 1999) out and throw a rule at it, see what i can come up with...£ 850.00p are you sure that's not gold plated doh

Thats not politically correct you know dear boy, gay rights and all that....
You can only make the rack if you wear a black leather cap though...

Do you know what material this is made from? I'm fabricating my own but don't know whether to use aluminium, stainless or regular mild steel tube.. either way, when I've done it I'll let you know..

most racks are mild steel tube for ease of bending and welding.
My rack project is on hold as her indoors wants the conservatory tiled...bugger.

Zen Overland......

Give Gabe a call at Zen Overland, he made me and a mate some front racks for our 03' XT's.
They incorporate a mesh headlight cover and a luggage loop/platform thingy.
Pretty tricky job too as I've got a 23L Acerbis tank and there's not a lot of room on full lock, Gabe did a great job though.
I'll be at the Hubb in May/June if anyone wants a look.
I'll try and put a photo up, but don't hold your breath.....

+1 for Gabe at Zen Overland...he fabricated all the racks for our CCMs for RTW did a truly fantastic job and amazing customer service too :)

Ive got a few if anyone would like one
Cost is £80 + pp

Only difference is I've had to mounts put on the front to take two spotlights
