Who makes (anyone) a rear rack that will work with the factory side racks?

The Fehling does not. We thought that Palmer made a rack, however it is not on their site anymore.

If the Fehling will bolt to the grab handles, you may only need to fabricate supports (one each side) between the Fehling and the factory side racks (where the cross piece attaches). I'm not familiar with the Fehling, so this is just a guess.

Arry:

The Fehling lower arm come into contact with the upper arms of the OEM buell Racks.

Possibly the Palmer Rack might be an alternative, however, they do not list it on their site at this time.

Thanks

Tom

took a little digging. still have the bike bags racks and spacers. i thought i had the fehling but i now realize i bought the sw-motech. very happy with it just forget which one i bought.

have the biggest givi top box and have loaded it with various parts to include dana 60 axle knuckles and ice and drinks. never an issue.

can load more photos if necessary.

once you have the two racks together its not the hard to see what you have to bend and space.
