hi marty. i got tim barnard's nw racks (
www.happy-trail.com) a couple months
ago, with mounts for givi boxes (you can also mount other brands of
bags/boxes on them). i'm pretty stoked on them. they fit, they're sturdy,
they look great, and they hold the bags really well. i was surprised i
didn't see more of them at the moab rally, but maybe they're too new? tons
of people asked me about them and seemed pretty impressed by the fit and
finish. good luck. feel free to email me offline with any specific questions
you might have about the racks.

Subject: [DSN_klr650] Side Luggage Racks?
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
