Nice work, I prefer this look over the box being mounted behind the rear seat. Is that the Yamaha comfort seat? How do you like it?
thanks, stock seat, mounted in lowest position. I cant do the comfort seat, it would raise me up, im 5'6", im really tall. lol

the handlebar has alot of unnecessary vibration for the phone, where i mount mine is like a dead space. i use an aluminum go pro mount bolted to the trim.
also the trim is cheap if it comes time to selling the bike

hi duckie, im out of newark, i ride monitor pass, 395 sonora pass alot. sometimes i go to sonora pass n back.
5- 50- monotor pass, 395, 108, 120 580 , one time i went on to hwy 338 then down to bridgport reservoir then up to 395 to sonora, that was tiring

the place that supplied the aluminum also bent it powdercoat it, $30 for 4mm alum 12x12, $20 for bending. i cut it to shape n drilled, then i dropped itboff to machine bend then more fitting then dropnoff for paowderdcoat, they didnt charge to powdercoat, its a textured powdercoat.
i did spend 82$ on the bmw mount which served as a template, i stole the tubes n mountbkit which i welded to work for me

im at 12500 miles, got mine may 2019, new chain at 6k miles. as much as i love the tracer, im looking at the 1290 superduke gt.
maybe i had gotten used to the power and would like some more? i really like the single side arm on the ktm, the power and lots of electronic goodies.
anyhow, only looking, still plan to putting alot of miles on the tracer

thanks all, im a little dissapointed in my fab, I should have done my homework more. the monokey system doesn have a case smaller than 30l,
i was hoping to use a small case sometimes, the 36l case is too big. i may bolt on a sw-motech adapter so i can use the monolock boxes which have smaller cases like for one helmet.

Since nobody makes a top rear rack that mounts above the passenger seat, i decided to fab my own. The only rack i see mounts behind the passenger seat.
I started with a Givi BMW mount, I received the mount but it was made of steel and actually siginificantly heavy.
I am fabbing my mount out of aluminum 4mm 6061.
the edges of the mount still have to be bent to add strength.
still under construction....
