Been looking for a rear rack. I do like the size and looks of MP3 but I see they are almost impossible to get. What is the closest in size to one of them? I see Wing Stuff is doing a pre order on a black rack to be shipped at later date. Just looking for ideas. Thanks.
I didn't have immediate plans to buy a rear rack, until I saw that one. Fire in the hole.
Just rec'd the rack today. It is very nice.Quote:

Yep, that is sweet!
Just put this rack on my bike last month!
Very happy with the way it looks and the quality.
Completely agree on the quality & looks. Unfortunately these days you don't always receive the quality you expect and pay for. This person did an excellent job.Quote:

You guys should be in Sales! I ordered one about 3 hours ago after reading your posts. Hope it's as good as you say �� eBay says I should get it next Monday.
Thanks for putting the information up on the forum.

Lucky you, let us know how you like it once you get it mounted up. Take some pictures. Maybe this guy will make up more in the future, looks like a nice rack indeed.
I am really surprised that someone has not taken and MP3 rack and copied it and started selling them. If I had access to one I know a guy that runs his own machine shop he has plasma cutters and water jet. I know he could reproduce them
Pretty much just like the Honda rack but bigger. The layers have to be the same underneath so the same spacers will fit. I would put better hooks for bungees to attach. The layers on the underside are also important so the bolt heads are recessed and do not protrude on top of the rack.
For the past year I tried to find a MP3 luggage rack. I can across this rack. It was made by a member here that sold his bike.

I do like that. That is the best looking I have seen yet. You want to sell it?
No I am sorry that one is staying on my bike.Quote:

I'd buy it in a heart beat. WARRANTY or not!
How much would it cost to take the MP3 Bike rake and have it remade?
I like all the options you have for tie downs and hooks as opposed to the MP3. I find bungee net hook placement is a bit tough on my MP3. Not a deal breaker but...yours is very stylish.Quote:

I need one of these. New to here, what does the MP3 mean and do you have a link for one?
MP3 was a brand of rack that was basically what most of thought the rack should be.Quote:

Rack came in along with the mounting brackets separate but both arrived same day via two day free delivery. Quality of rack is superb. 3/16 heavy duty with good attachment hardware. Directions were a bit crude as in hand drawn. I had to purchase two Additional hex cap screws As for my installation the shortest were just 5mm too short. I have the standard F6B so no passenger backrest. Also the mounting brackets were from Big Bike Parts. I don't know if that made a difference with the hardware needed.
Anyway the rake is really nice and solid. One last item, I don't really like drilling 13/16 holes in the covers for the mounting but couldn't find the pre drilled covers that come with the deluxe model as replacement parts. Any hints?
I haven't figured out how to post a picture but the rack looks just like the one Spiff125 posted. Just looks better on my gorgeous blue of course! �� :)
