SR/S Rear Racks
« on: March 10, 2023, 03:56:16 AM »

For those looking for a rear rack for their SR/S, here are three options I've found.

1.  Zero factory rack:  $200 from AF1 Racing (https://www.af1racing.com/ZM10-08280-Zero-Motorcycles-Rear-Rack-Kit--ZM10-08280).  Of the three options, this is the most complicated to install.

2.  T-Rex Racing:  $85 (https://www.t-rex-racing.com/2020-2022-Zero-SR-S-Luggage-Rack-p/e10-20luggagerack.htm).  This is the easiest to install.

3.  SW-MOTECH Street-Rack:  $181 (https://sw-motech.us/bike/ZERO/SRS/2020/Z4/products/luggage/luggage+racks/STREET-RACK/4052572222812.htm).  For even more versatility you can add their Luggage Rack Extension for an additional $83 (https://sw-motech.us/bike/ZERO/SRS/2020/Z4/products/luggage/luggage+racks/adapter+accessories/4052572051481.htm).

I believe that options 2 and 3 require you to have the Zero rack mounted to give them something to attach to.   Options 2 and 3 are really only larger metal plates with holes to support and bungee soft luggage.   I've got a similar system on my FXS so I can make local trips to the post office, UPS, FEDEX and DHL for deliveries.  My FXS is an EV pickup truck for me.

Neither option 2 nor 3 requires the Zero rack to be installed first.  They are stand-alone.  And the Zero rack itself is simply a large metal plate.  Remember, I'm talking about an SR/S, not an FXS.

I just used a piece of half inch marine plywood I had laying around the shop. I cut it the same shape as the GIVI snap on mount and used longer bolts to bolt through both the GIVI mount and the plywood spacer. Use 4 large nuts as spacers between the plywood and the bike where the bolts pass through so the plywood is not sitting directly on the plastic tail of the bike. The nuts need to be a larger size than the threads on the bolts, they should not actually thread on, just used as spacers. Painted flat black it looks fine even with the top case off. You could use thinner aluminum plate in place of the plywood but would be harder to cut out. Nice to see that there are some after market parts being offered.

I guess I was thinking of the SR/F and current version of the SR.   Neither of them has any mounting point from the factory and require an additional OEM rack.     The SR/S (and DSR/X) does have a small mounting point on the back for the extension plate.
