racks for long items

[elkroeger]

I don't surf. Yet. But I've been seeing these surfboard racks attached to the scooters around town. Of course my immediate reaction is, wow, how can I get one of those for my 1100RS?

It occurs to me that they'd be useful (if a little dangerous) for all sorts of things you might transport by bike. 2x4s, skis, whatever. Anyone else see a long-item rack for motorbikes?

 

Edit - Years ago, I did see a moto mounted ski rack. They sat vertically behind the pillion seat. I figured that was a custom job. But maybe there's a chance they were sold somewhere.

Noticed a guy yesterday on PC1 riding a G650GS with a surfboard along the side. They are on the net for about $150.

I ride regularly to shoots carrying a flintlock longrifle on the right saddlebag using bungee buddies. The rifle is 61" long.

Interesting idea. Their website has horrible photos though, you can barely see the product.

I noticed the same thing - gave up trying to find a clear pic. I have seen a good number of websites like that lately, where someone has put too much into getting an *artistic* composition and completely lost the idea of actually displaying the product.

yeah, those photos are worthless. I can't understand it either.

I don't think I would want a huge wing on the side of my RT. A bicycle at low speed might not be too bad but 30+ mph speeds could be a hair raising event. (imho)
