Hi there,

As I have brand new pannier rack for Kawasaki I want to adopt it to fit my Xt660Z to use with the soft panniers.

I want to use main 'oval' bit of the original rack and make/bend/weld the support 'legs' for it for mounting points on Tenere.

Question is where is the best source to get such a tube (original rack is 16mm outside dia)?

- buy a brand new?
- scrap yards?
- buy another rack and chop them off and weld them onto my rack?

Also any ideas on the mounting ends with the 'eye' for the bolts?? How to make them or again adopt from something else???

Cheers
