Fitting SW-Motech Pannier Racks with Hepco & Becker Mini Rack

[bikeever]

Mounted the Hepco & Becker Mini Rack together with SW-Motech Pannier Racks. Just a small modification at the Mini Rack required. Reduced the length of the front mounting bracket. It’s still a bit longer than the SW-Motech standoff. But I didn’t want to reduce more because of the Weld. Pannier Racks tolerates the different mounting position well. And even if it not looks like, passenger seat is still removable.

Do you know if SW-Motech pannier racks will fit with genuine Yamaha rack?

Never tryed this out but I don't think so. OEM Rack seems to be to wide. 
 

Maybe mounting instructions could give you more information:

One more question... thank you...

 

About the Hepco & Becker minirack.

 

Do you think it's solid enough to install a topcase on it?

They offer a rack especially made for carrying Topcases.

<p>The <strong>Hepco&Becker Alurack</strong> is especially designed for our topcases. As the successor to the luggage rack made of round tubing, the Alurack continues the tradition...

The basic construction is the same. But they don’t recommend to put a Topcase at the Minirack because of the relative thin Alu plate...

Hi, I’ve just installed the Bumot rack, it’s lighter than the oem rack. You can also mount a top case. I adapted the top plate from my ktm 990 to fit so that I can use the same case.

Hi bikeever, and what about passenger comfort? it seems that the plate is very close the the passenger's back

The plate is screwed in the front position. It is possible to move it a bit back because the rack has slot holes. If you do so, negative influence for passenger comfort should be minimal.
