Rear Rack options for a Vetter Top Case?

[2bikebart]

I have an Old School Vetter top case that I want to mount to my 2006 FJR and am looking for rear rack options and don't want to crack my subframe. Are there any rear racks other than the givi sr357 that I should be looking at?

I'm guessing that thing weighs a ton empty?

Have you considered the Garauld modified 357? https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/154816-givi-357-gen23-rack-supersized-by-garauld/

or the stiffener kit: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/154924-gen23-subframe-stiffy-kit-by-garauld/

with a PCA rack: https://www.pca-one.com/productDetail.asp?productID=7771&RetURL=search&search=keyword&SearchVal=sport%20rack&bikeType=&bikeMake=&bikeModel=&bikeYear=

Just a couple of ideas.

Good luck.

Al.

Kamal,

Thanks for the reply. The Vetter case is not as heavy as you would think but it is big so the temptation to load it up is there. I had seen Garauld's racks but not his 357 Mod. That mod to the 357 looks like the cats meow!!!. I am currently running a home made PCA type aluminum plate on the back. I did mount the Vetter case to it and took it out for a test run and it had way too much vibration in it.

You may want to go with "all of the above" , a GIVi rack and stiffener kit from Garauld when available.

Is there a reason to use the Vetter top case?
