I have reviewed all our threads on racks and cases, and scoured the internet for products that may have come out since those threads stopped, but alas...aftermarket seems to not care about 30 year old bikes :dunno2:
From what I've gleaned, the only side rack options are: 1) OEM z-racks (not interested, unless Gen 3 cases come with them); 2) Hepco and Becker; 3) Givi (not on their website, but I heard they do offer siderack options for k75s), and Reynolds racks.
I don't intend on using a topcase, but would like something that has a back/top platform of sorts, so I can toss a duffle across the top of the side tragkorbs and seat/platform.
Soooo, all you cool cats that are converting your k75s into café racers, let me take your racks off your hands :)

Mine's not for sale, but yes Givi did make siderack for K75. Givi mounts are the same for side & top cases so: when out & about local I run with 1 topcase and; when touring I have 3 'top'cases.

I'd be interested in any rack that could stop soft tragkorbs from hitting wheels and muffler. Thanks

Well, because you wrote "any" rack, Lastunder, you could always get a stock set of z-racks then attach a piece of aluminum flat bar at a diagonal to keep the bags from the wheel and a piece of lightweight aluminum angle to shield the bag from dropping onto the muffler and tie it to the z-rack with another flat bar. Or, you could cut a flat rectangle from metal or wood and bolt it to the rack and work out whatever protection you need from there. That could be interesting. There some z-racks/frames on eBay right now.

Well I think I just found my fallback position if I don't find something else. That's a neat idea Laitch, thanks. Do you think OEM cases might still attach with that mod?

Possibly. I'm counting on you to work it out so I can copy it.

If it works, I'll call them "Laitch-racks"

Be sure to post the results on MB.C, Lastunder. The moto-community is hungry for new products.
