Side Racks “Solo”

Our side racks have been making a name for themselves for over a year: essential, practical and light the “normal” ones, our beloved first product, sturdy and eclectic the “Heavy Duty” ones;
and now the family expands with the “Solo” ones.

Designed and built for solo use, although of course they do not prevent carrying a passenger while remaining mounted, they move the luggage almost 14 cm toward the center of gravity making the load easier to handle in all situations and allowing more immediate access to the handles, probably no longer used by a passenger but still indispensable for lifting the bike after falls and slips.

If you may miss the flexibility offered by the Heavy Duty in moving the luggage longitudinally or their huge load capability, don’t worry, you won’t loose their strength:
the three attachment points and 4 mm thickness, together with a less pronounced outward protusion, make the Solo durable and unobtrusive in all those situations where as a pair you are not likely to run into.

And as always for GWX products they are also pleasing to the eye by blending nicely into the lines of the tail covers.


A couple of details remain to be clarified, but the prototypes are already being tested on the road … and off it … and have already earned a special place in our hearts!

Rear Rack HD angled spacer

Following a comment for one of the Rear Rack owners, we decided to test an additional spacer, between the tail and the Rear Rack, similar to the one used with the standard Rear Rack.

Actually it is not necessary, as the Rear Rack HD uses 4 screws, so it is stable as it is. But the additional spacer increase the stability of the Rear Rack, making negligible the (unavoidable) already small deflection when loaded.

The spacer also provides an additional attachment point (personally I have used to secure a small tool bag positioned under the rack).

It needs a conical washer and a countersunk M8x80, but a standard M8x75 with standard washer works as well.

The spacer is available for free on Thingiverse (search our name, the spacer is named FGWX-0-B-003).

As promised/anticipated, new versions of our beautiful and practical Rear Rack and Side Rack are coming, the prototypes are on the way, but they won’t be fully tested until spring 2024.

The Rear Rack HD is actually our known “old” rack, but a couple of reinforcements, made in 5mm aluminium and bolted to the Rear Rack, will make it capable more weight, and integrates also the handles. The reinforcements are also designed so that the rack plane is about 25mm higher, allowing to store a small bag with tools or a tire repair kit underneath. And still the Rear Rack can be used without reinforcements, giving plenty of possibilities and configurations.

Same for the Side Rack, it is our well known design, but now made in 5mm aluminium, and with a slightly increased surface, so that larger saddlebags can be used without problems. Weight capacity is increased as well, due to the increased thickness and to the third attachment point, the M8 screws used by the OEM luggage systems.

an Extension becomes Extended !

The first charge of group order is delivered and we all are mounting and testing our new gadget … the season is not over, not yet!

I hope you will comment them and share your experiences on the blog.

Giamaica and I had tested them too on a quick ‘n’ dirty tour in Danmark and the result is a little but consistent design change:

The front rack extension has become an
extended front rack in the AL version:

easier, lighter, stiffer than the still good two-pieces-version
which did her duties without hesitation, it must be said,
but still:
the best is the enemy of the good!
