plan to tour with the wife, 2 up.  we want to camp but i'm having trouble figuring out where to pack the tent.  its your garden variety size (22"x7"x7")  

is there a luggage rack option?  i have a 2000 m750.

We have checked and we are able to pack everything else in the saddlebags and tankbag but the tent has no where to go.  suggestions?  or anyone know of a tent that is less than 15" long?

edit: to make things more difficult, its got a tail chop

Have her wear a small backpack... 

I did a few trips on my '99 M750.  I didn't have saddlebags, so I needed a big-ass mountaineering backpack.   Tongue

Now, I use a smaller alpine style climbing pack, and it doesn't really hinder me at all. waytogo







Good luck finding a solution that works for you.

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

I have one, it is beautifully engineered and very solid. Mounts vertically or horizontally, from bosses wedged between frame and grab-bars. When horizontal, not ideal as a rack because it is curved and slopes slightly rearward, but would carry a tent such as yours no problem whatsoever.

appreciate the help guys. 

i actually decided to fabricate a rack instead.  if it holds up for the duration of the trip, i'll share my rig.  if not, i'll pretend it never happened.

Yeah, just any old thing will work.  I made this rack for my Nighthawk. I rode the thing two up from FL to AZ and back with no problems, and we carried everything we needed.




Never slept in any hotels:



Held plenty of junk:

ventura rack + a well rods welded in place to reinforce it should serve you nicely.
