Hey all,

I have a luggage rack that I'm having trouble identifying. The guy who sold me a pair of H1 triples awhile ago told me it went with them, but for the life of me I can't figure out how. I don't see this fitting on the '71; and the '75 I have has the tail chopped off, so I can't make out how it would mount. Posting here to see if anyone knows what this is, or is interested in it (best offer).

Cheers, ~zack

Can't offer an opinion here, other than the "reasonably fast zack" title is quite "cool"........ (hate luggage racks!).... :lol:

Agreed, JP. I don't like the looks of a rack, but my Guzzi came with one, and I bought a tail bag that fits it nicely. I can carry a ton of stuff in there, including a small cooler with lunch in it, several packages going to the Post Office, a 3-liter gasoline can, etc.. It doesn't even slow the bike down much. :lol:

I take a credit card and a light back-pack when I travel! :D

I can't agree that a back pack is better than a tail bag!

No worries Jim, I just like to travel real light, and get a motel. I've always had "sports bikes" and the touring thing is not for me, that is just me. Way back in the day, we went on a trip and this guy brought along.......wait for it........ a fold-apart kitchen-sink..... I kid you not! :crazy: I could nearly live for a week on what I could stuff into a H2 tail-piece!

Rod H. travel tip: Pack a flask of Everclear (190 proof alcohol) in your H2's tailpiece. You can dilute it to make vodka, and it's very compact because it's concentrated!
