Need help finding a luggage rack
Hey guys sorry I don't know what department this falls under but I think cosmetic. I'm planning on going to Missouri next month and i'm taking hawk with me. But i dont want to wear a back pack behind me for 400 miles, I did that once not so good for your back. But this time i'm try to look for a luggage rack for the hawk and i dont know where to start. wonder if you guys can help me out here is one of the thread on this forum that gave me that idea.https://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...ad.php?t=19494 Thanks

Renntec makes a rack that sits behind the rear cowl over the tail light. I have no experience with them but have considering getting one. http://www.revsperformance.com/renntec/sports_racks.htm
Right now I use a Cargo brand tail bag from Cycle Gear. It straps to the passenger seat and holds a surprising amount of stuff. Reasonably priced. http://www.cyclegear.com/spgm.cfm?L1...m=FTL_CAR022_G

the rack on the Hawk I rode across the country was a Ventura rack. I thought the setup was a little pricey, but it does work really well. The L brackets, and rack altogether cost $216. That doesn't include the bags, then you really start to run into money.

Thats guys for helping me out but I looked and man those thing are kinda expensive not like i can't afford it but that thing cost more then the tires I'ma get. Holy crap too much for just a piece of metal. I think i'ma save the cash and make my own. Budget are tight nowadays dont think i should spend it on something that i can make. Thanks anyways. I figure its around 50-70 buck cause it look like that but 150+200 thats kinda rediculous but i do like the one that runrowdy mention the cargo bag that thing look good i think i'ma weld some metal to the side and get that to mount on the passenger side. Thanks again guys

Givi makes a "mono rack" kit to fit the superhawk. It's pretty sturdy and easy to install. I bought mine from a forum mamber for about 125. direct from givi would be a bit more I think.
I adapted side cases to the rack, which butchered up the rear seat plastic, but the rack and a top box fit and look good.
