nice work! what is that IPAD MINI doing on your dash?
Dragster Rear Luggage Rack
Ok, So i know it's not a touring bike, but there are a few who want to take it on trips longer than a day and/or maybe take some luggage with them ;-)
So to that end and considering i was bored in the workshop this evening, I decided to tackle the problem, ok not really a problem there, but i love challenges & self inflicted projects, so set to work making a prototype rear rack for the Dragster.
A few hours later, here's what i came up with......yes maybe not the best looking thing in the world, but what luggage carriers are? It's simple, practical and serves a function, at least no horrible scaffolding everywhere and it can be fitted or removed in 2-3 minutes, 3 allen bolts, that's it, No mods to the bike needed & very strong, i had my 9 year old daughter sit on it and it held her weight with no problems. ��
I now have the final template, so i intend to get one laser cut from 6mm Aluminium & powder coated in the the next few weeks, so if anyone else is interested in it, then please let me know so that i can gauge interest, as it's possible i could get a batch made up, the more i get made, the cheaper they would be. Alternatively, if you're handy in the garage, then you could easily knock one up of your own.

i used a Ram mount ball and a socket that bolt directly to the Zumo mount.
You can get them on ebay.
To run the cables, take the head light of ( 2 bolts) a run the cables through with all the other control cables from the handle bars to the main relay.
It's on the right hand side of the bike, just in front of the fuse box.
You can either wire it via fuse directly to the battery cable there or pick up an ignition wire in the relay plug.
As i was running cables, i also ran a power socket up there to, which now gives me a nice place to plug in for either the tank bag (charging phones etc) or heated clothing.

Thanks Johnsie!!!
it is the brackets for the Puig screen, works a treat. Unlike a lot of aftermarket screens, this one actually looks like it was designed for the bike.

Rack fitment
These photos may give you a better idea of fitment and whether it will suit your bike with the tail tidy.
looks like it should fit ok.
