Planning to go camping etc on XBR this summer, but...
paint is a bit too pretty for a tank bag
and it's got no rack
I'll probably go for throwovers, as pannier racks will spoil the look (and I use my other bike for 2-up heavy camping), and a dry bag on the rear seat. There doesn't seem to be anything available in the way of a rear rack,so I suspect the best idea may be to buy another grab rail and weld a wee rack onto that.
However, I thought it might be worth asking about to see if any thumpers had good advice? I have Krauser K2s on the CX, so I might be persuaded to put K2 rails on, temporarily, if I can get a spare set, but there aren't a lot of mounting points on the XBR.
In fact, I'm currently finding it a pain carrying a lock and chain about town...having to be VERY careful not to damage bodywork along sides with bungee hooks!
Any thoughts?
