I just got new KLR650 - love it. Had two BMW F650's - the KLR is much more fun - and actually faster on many stretches of road, plus it fits me much better. Can't understand why I waited so long..... Need some help, though.... Been sorting through the archives and FAQ's, but can't find lots of specifics on getting rigid side racks. Would love some advice from seasoned KLR owners. I'm hearing that racks (and/or bags) can come from: Jesse, Touratech, "Driveline", Givi, "Tim" and other places. I can't find most of these on the web sites for these folks, and I can't find things like "Tim's". I've tried Kaw factory soft bags. I've tried Ortliebs (can't figure how to attach them properly). Really need some side rack support. I need a side rack similar to Givi, Touratech, Hepco-Becker, etc. I'd like to avoid the weight and expense of Jesses. Therefore would like to find racks that can hold soft luggage, or ones that I can rig fiberglass/plastic bags to. Can I seek your guidance? What are specific part numbers, web locations, addresses, etc. Off line response ok too, to save bandwith. Apologies if this has been re-hashed too many times, but I really did spend more than an hour with the FAQ's/archives. Thanks very much, Marty Anderson martynet@...
