Custom Soft Luggage Rack
 

I'm not fond of pannier boxes when doing off road trips and as such bought some Kappa soft panniers and a Kappa cylindrical tail bag,

To allow easy and secure fitment I designed a simple Ally rack.

It bolts onto the rear of the Tenere and works a treat.

I made the side pieces removable so If I don't need to much luggage on a trip I simply remove them and only use my tail bag.

It was laser cut from 4.5mm Aluminium

I still need to have the rack anodised in black.
