Well it's arrived and fitted! I wanted the Black one but it was out of stock with a 3 week lead time and being as I'm off on my trip next Wednesday then a White one it had to be! Looks far better than I thought it would TBH. Big thanks to Andy at Demon Tweeks for pulling out all the stops to get me this by the weekend, Cheers Mate! The Kreiga luggage is now Rock Solid and I'm well impressed with the design of the rack and how it works with the Kreiga or any other soft luggage you may have.
I'm well chuffed Giv! If I'd known/thought about this solution before I'd bought the Kreiga gear, I'd have bought 2 x US20's to go with the US30 rather than the 2 x US10's in the photo. You could mount a 20 on top of a 30 and then another 20 on the back as in the pic.
Not at all mate! A BARGAIN £72 from Andy at Demon Tweeks! The Brucie Bonus is wapping her up on the Paddock stand is safe as houses now!
You've done well ther sinewave, I guess all the other shite we have chewed over these recent months was staring us in the face. You really took one for the team. Pleased to see it fitted, and I think this is a worth while purchase. I wonder if Andy can get me one here before Scotland?
Yes Gary I think you're right! I appreciated yours, and others efforts in coming up with a solution but I think this is far more useful, looks better than any fabricated Tea Tray would have done and doubles up as a Pillion Grab Rail and useful rear stabilizing hold when pulling the bike up on to a Paddock stand. Still think a Black one would look better, but bar that, what's not to like? I'm getting the 19" summer AMG wheels powder coated soon so may just get em to blast this at the same time and change it to Black anyway.
I've just checked the website, item out of stock? However I shall sneak my wallet out the door in the morning and try to get in touch with Andy, Bank holiday and all that, and see if I can get one here by Wednesday? I can't see any reason not to take one for a ride around Scotland. I agree, there's been fantastic support in trying to resolve the fireblade luggage issues by various members. But seriously, I'd never expect anyone to to something for nothing, and at that price, frankly I would rather buy the renntec than insult an individuals enginuity for a few quid less. If that makes sense?
It took 20 mins to decipher the shyte instructions but once the penny dropped, then only 20mins to fit. No body work needs removing, just the pillion strap, that's all.
I like the renntec, surprisingly keen on the white too. For me I discounted this time round ( in favour of the tea tray lol!). Fitting requires 4 bolts through the seat subframe, and 2 above to the grab handle bolts. You also can't fit the seat cowl whilst it's on, and it only carrys 5 kg. If you want a rack for say a week long trip, or happy to have it on the bike all the time, I think it is great. For me though, I wanted something I can just dock on the bike when I need to take a bag out, and then replace with the seat cowl when I want a blast and hang out posing at the cafe.
Just off the phone to the nice peeps at deamon tweaks. Apparently got the last one in stock? Just hope it get here by Wednesday. Or 10.00 am Thursday morning
Sometimes it's easier to ring direct mate. As I've said previously on this thread. The service was fantastic. The black don't look out of place. And it's still peace of mind knowing the luggage ain't going anywhere soon.
It isn't or wasn't on their website Nicko, I just emailed Andy and said I want this along with a link to Renntec's site and hey presto he comes up with the goods. I think they can get just about anything you may want whether they stock it as standard or not. As soon as a major player like DT ring up with an equiry most manufacture's get all giddy with excitment and send over the goodies ASAP with very favourable costings
