racks
While I'm sure that everybody who makes racks for the KLR (except Givi)
does a great job, I have personal experience with Tim Bernard's "NW" racks.
They install easily and look and work great. I found the price reasonable,
too.
I highly recommend them and anything else that Tim does.
Thanks.

Greetings All,
Who is Tim that is mentioned in regards to racks for KLR, and how do
I contact him for info or specs. Who else besides Givi offers racks for
the KLR? I just bought a used bike and need to outfit it to haul my
gear. Thanks in advance.

Really? Does anyone have a picture of it? I'm looking for a rack that I
can mount Givi cases to. I wonder why they don't show it on their site.

pics of pete's pelican case racks.
I've put pictures of the racks I made for my Pelican 1520 cases in
the Photo section under "Pete's Pelican Case Racks". The first pic
shows the racks installed on the bike. You will notice I removed the
stock Kawi tail rack & made my own. I did this to make a stronger
mounting point for my racks. The racks are made from 3/4" OD, 1/16"
wall tubing. They have 4 attaching points & are very ridged. There
is no need for a cross brace across the back of the bike to support
the cases from bending in. I have supported my full 200-pound weight
on the installed case & there was little flexing. The second picture
shows the left case with the mounting brackets in place. The
brackets are made from 1 1/2" angle iron & welded on pins made from
the plain shanks of bolts. The pins are 1 1/8" long & are covered
with rubber tubing (used fuel line). You will notice that the tubing
is longer than the pins on the bottom & top front bracket. This
makes it easier to slide the case into place on the rack. You slip
the longest lower tube partially in first, next line up & slip in the
top front & finally line up the back pin & push the case all the way
back so the pad lock holes line up on the rear top mount. Pad locked
in place it is not coming off. The third pic is of the left rack off
the bike & shows how the case fits on the rack. The fourth pic shows
the right rear top mount with the pad lock in place. The rear top
mount slides into a 1 1/4" piece of 3/4" tubing welded to the upper
rack tube that also has the locking tab welded to it. The fifth pic
of the left case top bracket shows how it slides into the front of
the of the upper rack tube. I put protective pieces made from 1" x
1/8" angle iron on the front top & bottom mount points on the racks
to protect the tubing from getting bent in case of a crash with the
cases off. I don't have a good pic of the bike with the cases, back
box, etc. all in place. I'll try to get one some time after my
operation Wednesday.
Hope my description here isn't too confusing. I wrote it up kind of
quick like. Pete Chester A16
