careful doing this and err on the side of caution and make sure the dowels fit exactly over the mounting holes when putting the mounting bolts in - the last thing you want is to strip the threads that are inserted into the plastic of the fuel tank . I like that the mounting arms double as hand grips for the pillion , so you don ’ t lose out on those and can still take a pillion after taking
the stock hand holds off . There ’ s also a wider plate available from GasGas that makes a larger footprint for strapping bigger items to the rack .
LIGHTWEIGHT SOFT LUGGAGE My next step is to sort a soft luggage solution for the bike that keeps the weight down and doesn ’ t cost the earth . I ’ ll cover that in the next issue .
