Luggage rack

Hey Richard (Bob here) so left banjo as per our previous emails.


With dealer now and I am in conversation with Norton to speed things up.
Their spare parts guy is awesome so they might send a new rocker cover complete with banjo bolts set.

Dealer in Australia must have torqued and stripped the thread. The manual calls for a very high torque setting in my humble opinion but wouldn't really know how 'soft' that cover is.
If helicoill and silicon is acceptable I don't care as long as I can ride this Xmas.

Does anyone ever get a custom luggage rack from the Viking bags? Any user reviews?

Hi Ramon , It is highly unlikely that Viking makes anything that will fit directly on your Norton 961 . BUT , if you have a dual-seat vesion there are lots of possiblities likthe one fabricated by BlightyBrit or Mak :

Actually, I am looking for something like this by using this https://www.vikingbags.com/honda-rebel-500-abs-battle-axe-motorcycle-sissy-bar-with-backrest/ as the base.

To upload pictures directly you need to be a paying member (VIP). otherwise you need to upload them to something like Google drive, and then paste the URL of each image into your post.

Which one would be a better option? https://ventura-bike.co.uk/collections/aero-bike-pack-system/products/adjustable-pack-rack or https://www.vikingbags.com/honda-rebel-500-abs-battle-axe-motorcycle-sissy-bar-with-backrest

Will do whatever needs to be done for fitment.

Not in my realm as a Cafe Racer owner Ramon, but there have been many solutions - the most developed of which seem to include a racking system secured via the six blind mounting holes under the dual seat cowl.

See the FB site currently - there is a new post starting to cover the subject. Some great options, including a seriously well engineered hard setup by Paul and a more period appropriate soft setup from Stuart.
