Tekno bags and OEM Rear Rack

[tmcafe]

Hello all,

 

Wondering if the Tekno bags can be used along with the OEM rear rack. I've searched in the forum but couldn't find anything specific. Does anybody know? Thanks.

I suppose you are bidding on them on ebay? If so ,we are wondering the same thing?

How did you know (well duh, it's a small world, lol). Hope whoever got the bags will be happy with them. I decided not to bid. Not really a priority for me right now. There's another option I haven't tried, but if I do I'll let others know. I'm thinking about Ortlieb bags (the quick attach version?) and since Happy Trails is here in town, I could check with them for some kind of simple rack that would fit. Another easy solution is just a pair of throw-over saddle bags. I wouldn't leave them on the bike anyway. I have an OEM system on my Dakar and never used it except for long trips.

Don't know about the rack... but I have the Tekno bags and have been very pleased with them. Top speed tested to 135 mph (indicated)

Yes Helen has that combination on her V11 Sport- no problem.

Its a great bike thankyou very much, I love it!

 

From a cosmetic point of view the rack & frames do spoil the looks a little but a large portion of our riding is done carrying camping gear so practicality rules.
