Hello
Looking for a rear luggage rack for a MK 5 Le Mans if anybody has got one available.
Cheers
Martin
Hi Martin, I had what was then named an 88-LeMans, after a Mk 4 with the 16 inch front wheel and before they named it a Mk 5, I had a set of Givi panniers and their universal rack, but I machined up some brackets which bolt onto the 2 holes at the rear of the frame, this made for a very rigid setup, I still have the brackets I made and the universal pannier rack but it will need TLC as its been in my shed for many years. You are welcome to have it. Cheers Richard
Hello Richard
That’s very generous of you and I would like to take up your offer. What would be the best way to collect - I am based in the Midlands.
Thanks
Martin
Hi Martin, I am in Poole, Dorset. I will dig the carrier brackets out of my shed and look for the brackets I made up, then let you know if it is all there. I also have the Mono Key panniers which you are welcome to have but will say that the plastic around the hinges has deteriorated so that I would be worried about them failing. Cheers Richard.
Richard
Ok thank you - Let me know how you get on and then sort out collection - I have friends who live in Bournemouth so would be a good excuse for a trip down to catch up with them and also meet up with you.
Cheers
Martin
Will do
Cheers
Richard
Hi Martin, I have located the rack & brackets, rack has now been through the dishwasher because it was horrible to handle, probably best to bead blast it then repaint, my shed is damp inside and there’s sea air. I would check that your frame has 2 holes rather than the 1 which most other Guzzi’s use to pivot the seat. Will try and upload photos.
Thanks Richard
As it happens we are sailing from Poole to France on 15th August returning on the 22nd August - the ferry lands at 13:00 so could be with you between 14:00 and 14:30 if that suits you.
Regards
Martin
