- Improve the functionality of the rear rack without the top case attached by giving a larger footprint for more soft luggage options. The rack was designed around a Nelson-Rigg CL-1060 sport touring bag found HERE, but many other bags will work due to the multiple strap points already cut into this rack.
- Provide strap and bungee attachment points to use with or without a rear soft bag or top case. Provides versatility for gear carry.
- Improve the looks of the rear rack without the top case attached and eliminate the plastic GIVI Monokey mount.

Rack cost is $150 plus shipping via UPS
Shipping cost typically ~$10-15 in the US, but less expensive when to a business.
Paypal accepted once shipping cost is calculated.
The rack can be ordered by emailing kirbseepe@yahoo.com. Costs are kept down by running batches of 5 or more at a time. Some racks may be kept in stock to fill out an order or if there is enough demand. Please inquire.
One-offs or custom designs are always an option. Rear racks and tool tube mounts have been produced for bikes like the Stelvio, Multistrada, Explorer, KTM 990ADV, etc. Most racks have been for my personal use, but fellow riders often want what cannot be purchased to match their needs. The design process is fairly painless, inquire if interested.
Most rear racks are made from 12 gauge stainless steel. This material, often left bare on ADV bikes, provides a rigid surface that stays looking great. The Motus rack prototype has been produced in 12 gauge stainless (2lbs-10oz) and 0.10" aluminum (14oz). The final choice in material will be decided by orders placed, but each batch must be the same material. The cost of material does not impact final price as the setup charges from the laser cutter are the biggest cost factor. My personal rack is stainless steel powder coated.
The racks are de-burred and powder coated in a textured black 7-13% gloss powder. This provides a very close match to the factory Motus coating used. The hardware included with this rack is listed below:
- (4) M8x1.25x16mm, 18-8 stainless, button head hex drive screws
- (4) M8, 18-8 stainless, washers
The above hardware replaces the factory rack hardware for consistency.
- (4) M6x1x16mm, 18-8 stainless, black oxide, button head hex drive screws
- (4) M6, 18-8 stainless, washers
- (4) M6x1 nylon insert, stainless lock nuts
- (4) 4mm thick nylon spacer
The above hardware mounts this rack to the factory rack using existing holes. The nylon spacers provide clearance for the Givi mushroom hardware. More on that below.
- (1) set of Givi E115F hardware set provided that includes: pyramid latch, rubber bumpers, and mushroom head spacers. All other hardware is replaced with the below
- (2) M6x1x16mm, 18-8 stainless, button head hex drive screws (pyramid latch)

Also provided to duplicate the security of the Givi hardware for the pyramid latch. Replace M6x1x16mm pyramid latch hardware provided above with the below-

Rubber Givi bumpers clear factory rack or fall inside factory holes
The Givi mushroom head hardware must be slightly elevated to clear the nylock nut on the bottom side of the rack. 4mm spacers are provided for this.
New rack provides a sleek profile while still maintaining the ability to mount the Givi Monokey top case.
