Anyone know if you can order the Hepco-Becker top case rack without the top case? I saw the rack in the Killboy thread, and really like the rack...it's so sweet!

No really, I just want the rack, which is a custom fit for the Uly, but don't really dig the looks of the top case. I would rather get a large tail pack instead for some upcoming camping trips.

And lastly, does anyone have any pics of their Uly's completely loaded for long travel (camping) trips. I will be doing some camping trips with the wife this summer around Northern California, and will need all the essentials (2 sleeping bags, tent, and a wish list full of camping goods from Aerostich). I think with the top case, the ability to pack it all on would be slightly hindered. Plus, I'm almost certain that items can be tied down to the tops of the side cases, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers!

I'm sort of wondering the same thing...I could use the rack, but not the case.

Check with www.touratech-usa.com - they handle a lot of HB product.

Uly racks are Buell proprietary items. There may be another brand top case rack available but not the HB.

yeah, Gotj, that kinda sucks!

This looks like it would work fine, except, where is the triple tail in the photo, and would it be functional?

And at $185, might as well bend me over and have your way with me first.

This would be so perfect, were it made for a Uly.

You might ask for some used racks. Some people have wrecked their cases and got new ones.

If I'm right, from what I've seen the bags only come with the racks. That should leave some slightly bent or new extra racks around.

MikeDinger,

You might check out the Happy Trails tail rack. It is $89 and is very sturdy and large. You have to remove the triple tail. It is the most spacious tail rack that I have seen for the Ulysses and would be good for throwing a tent over.
