XT660R Rear Rack..what are the options?

I found a Hepco and Becker one, and a SW Motech one...and there is of course the Yamaha one, but are there any others I could consider?

Hey I never said I wasn't a thickie twin...

I just about managed to read the thread title....X.T.R :smacksforehead: Never seen one so I beg forgiveness I only have eyes for the Z....although the price is a tad alarming!

I wanted a rack - quickly - when I bought my R for the commute. Tried to get a Givi. D&K sold me a kappa for a lot less monies (takes a GIVI box), then even nipped to the importer so I could go and get it same day. It's excellent quality BUT ONLY ANY GOOD FOR A TOP BOX, I'd prefer a tubular rack if I was going anywhere so as I could get a big hold-all on. It's been ideal so far though.

Thanks for the input so far, I agree that the tubular racks are better for my uses.

So I have a choice of OTR or Hepco and Becker.

I like the H&B the most....I would do...its the most expensive one!

if you want a flat rack only, GStry in SA have solution for the XTR/ XTX, even the XTZ one looks beautifull and works like magic.
