rack for klr650, homemade
I am welding up this rack for the back of my KLR650, it will keep
things from being donated along the trail
Made from 3/8" square tubing that I scavenged, it will bolt on top of
the little factory landing pad that the dealer calls a rack.

Looks like a mini metal milk crate. I like the idea of something boxy
on the back, but if you bolt it down you limit what you can easily
strap onto the rack/seat. I don't see my 30lb bags of dog food fitting
in there, but to each his own (that's why we ride mo'cycles). If you
take a look around at racks on other bikes, you'll see that the KLR
unit is pretty darn spacious one for a stocker. The DL650 has a nice
one, too.

rack for klr650, homemade
Hey Now,
I had an old folding milk crate which I made into a carrier rack for
the KLR. If I need to stuff things into a box I can, if I need to
strap a 25 LB bag of kitty litter on i can (with the folding milk
crate folded down of course).

It works pretty good.

I use that plus motion pro wrench/tire spoon combos for my axle nuts. Plenty light kit.> > I'm still looking for the magic combination that will > get a good torque on the cam cap bolts. >
