🤣 Who wouldn't!? Though this is the internet and every opinion and view is available. Many are diametrically opposed, unflinching and every one is right. Always! Though you are more right than some of course! Thanks for watching.
Enjoyed your vid. Just a suggestion, it might be beneficial to give us a 360 degree view , where possible, at the completion of the install. Please don't be apologetic for providing weight details. I am very interested in this piece of information, as it will/may drive my (and I suspect a lot of other viewers) decision/s to purchase accessories. Keep up the good work...
Very nice. I put the H2C rear rack on my CRF, and I like the way it looks. This Yamoto rear rack seems to be much more practical, though. Saving a half kilo is certainly a bonus. Thanks
Hi, yes I think the H2C was the best one available initially, and is still very practical. Steel is tougher too for long term use. I’d been using a H2C one until now and for everything except the rear hooks for my blizzard panniers, it was great. These Yamoto alloy ones looked interesting so I thought I’d try one.
Looks really good actually, better than the other and the weight savings is a bonus for its purpose its just as strong for the application. Lots of slotted holes and anchor points there too!
Love this rack, but am torn between this Yamato & the SRC "Full" Rack system. As noted in comment below - this Yamoto rack is almost identical to the SRC's "top" rack/plate. My question, which is holding up my purchase, is that with either the Yamato or SRC..... I would like the option and/or flexibility to use the top plate/rack only (as is the Yamato). But to also perhaps one day be able to purchase/add (for Yamato) and also remove the "side plates" when not needed! It appears the only "purchase" option with SRC is the "Full Rack" with side plates!? I don't see an option to purchase the SRC top/side plates separately, nor does Yamato (or other company/brand) offer (yet) the option to buy/add side plates?!? With SRC it could be due to the "structural design" that they must/need to be used/installed/mounted together!?! I don't know, and am trying to figure these options or lack of out. It would be a huge advantage to have the option to add & include/remove these side plates/racks if or when necessary. I last rode in college 35 years ago and just recently purchased a 2021 Honda 300L Rally. The accessory market & options are entirely new to me, so I don't know, but whether with Yamato or SRC it would seem a "buildable rack component system" should be doable! That's what I'm trying to figure out. For example - with SRC - you can purchase & add (and also remove) the Rotopax gas can latter! If either Yamato or SRC would give the above options/flexibility - not only I, but thousands upon thousands of others riders would instantly purchase!! It appears I prefer the "soft" type luggage. But once again, I would like the option to use both soft or hard - depending on my future needs, rides, etc. The type of luggage one uses also appears to be a factor & function of the type of rack one uses!?! Perhaps I'm being obsessive, but I would prefer to not have to buy (spend/invest $$), then instal/remove several different racks & types of luggage to meet my various riding needs! Sorry for the rather long comment, but this is my current "rack" (and luggage) buying decision & delay I face. And as many know, we're not talking chump $ change here!! Again, I'm just getting back into riding & will need and appreciate any help or advice. This channel & viewer comments has been a great source of info, and is most appreciated!! Mucho Thanks!
Obsessive is fine! We all do it about different things! Agreed that sides should be available separately. I’ve ended up going for rackless saddlebags for short trips and clip on panniers (on pannier frames) for longer trips. For day trips I have a rackless drybag which clips to the rear plastic. Good luck with your decision!
Apologies Eddie. It’s been sold since the video. Welcome to the channel though. I had a look through IG and from this post on, most of the CRF pics have it fitted: instagram.com/p/CQfvlhSH0vl I think it’s the best rack available for looks/weight/storage. The Rally raid is better looking but I think it’s too small for a hold-all or dry bag. The H2C is great it tube is your thing but it’s heavy and not that practical as a platform. I’m now waiting for an Outback Motortek rack to use with my pannier frames. That’s the unicorn I’ve been waiting for…
Question: Do you know if crash bars can be fitted without issues with a Bikerz Bits skid plate?Installed this same rack and skid plate (from Bikerz Bits) on my 300 Rally, and perfect fit with no issues installing. Quality parts. Hoping to get some crash bars soon, but haven’t been able to confirm if the aftermarket skid plate will prevent that. If anyone has any info, please post! Thanks!
I haven't tried, (RotoPax's seem to be in short supply outside the US at the moment), but I think the bracket would bolt on the top, and maybe even the left side. Assuming holes are there or can be drilled, yes, I'm sure that would work.
How identical? Like the same? I think it’s easier to get Thai stuff to the UK than it is from the US. Yup looks like this: www.srcmoto.com/collections/racks-luggage-honda-crf-300l-rally/products/full-rack-system-for-the-crf-honda-300l-300l-rally but without the side bits and the holes drilled towards the back. Also 1/6th the price 😉
@@zedpoutine I’d trust that then. I measured the edge with a caliper and it was closer to 4 than 3, though perhaps that’s the powder coating. Could that be 0.5mm thick? Sounds like a lot, but I’m sure the website is right.
When it stops raining! It’s been a crap week for weather so I’ve been working during the days and splitting the evenings between the now open cinema and watching football. I’ve a ‘film school’ day with the legend that is Austin Vince (of Mondo Enduro) on Saturday (very much needed, I’m sure you’ll agree 😉) so Sunday is currently my best bet to get it done. My apologies for the delay it’ll come.
@@PeakMotorcycles I got the same rack a few weeks back and it's an easy fit and I also agree it fits the bike lines and takes a bit of the overdone red away from the back seat and guard. I can also grab it to move the bike in tight parking here in the Philippines. Great video again. Thanks.
Not without a plate. The only one I’ve tried for a top box is the Honda OEM rack which comes with a plate to fit either the Honda box or a Givi box. (The plate is the same) if you’re in the UK, I have the Honda rack with a Honda/Givi plate that I’d sell on.
I installed the same rack and a skid plate from Bikerbitz yesterday. I'm very satisfied with both. Super EZ install.
Aye, they seem to be decent components. I guess they’ve had a few months longer to develop products in Thailand as they had bikes to work with.
I like the weigh ins!

Nice fit, half the weight, looks much better - well done, Andre.

I only bought it and fitted it 😉

Yup. Will do. It’ll probably be in the morning though, and I’ll put it in a post on the community section.
Looks like it’s photos only on the Community but, so I’ve uploaded it to Facebook. facebook.com/groups/2162085734059520/permalink/2918166715118081/

Yup, it's definitely more suitable for what I need it for and the weight saving means I'll probably leave it on the bike.

I’m sorry, but I haven’t tried. I had a look at Bikerzbitz but only the red ones in stock so I’ll wait.
Thanks again for a thoughtful presentation. Is the rack compatible with the Rotopax mount system?
I haven't tried, (RotoPax's seem to be in short supply outside the US at the moment), but I think the bracket would bolt on the top, and maybe even the left side. Assuming holes are there or can be drilled, yes, I'm sure that would work.
Awesome bud cheers 👍🏻
No problem. I’ll run out of stuff to do to it pretty soon I think. By then it might be time for another bike. One has been ordered 😉
src's version of this rack is almost identical!

Thats a useful looking rack.👍
What is the maximun width and the thickness of the material its made off ?
Thanks 🙂
Thickness is (I think) 4mm aluminium. Width is 24cm, length (at the shortest point, middle to middle) is 30cm.
@@PeakMotorcycles ah. Even better than I thought. Thats definately a very good rack. Thanks 👍
Says 3mm on the website (bottom of picture).
@@zedpoutine I’d trust that then. I measured the edge with a caliper and it was closer to 4 than 3, though perhaps that’s the powder coating. Could that be 0.5mm thick? Sounds like a lot, but I’m sure the website is right.
@@PeakMotorcycles As long as it is sturdy enough :) I am very tempted by one.
I ordered same plate from bikerbitz and was wondering rough size so I can buy appropriate rear bag . Thanks
Hi, the flat bit is 24cm wide and 30cm long (9.5” wide and 12” long if inches are your thing!)
@@PeakMotorcycles thanks for the reply

It does. Seems to work pretty well too. I've put Enduristan Tornado 2 bags on it (two stacked) and a tail pack and it seems very solid.

Where can you buy this rack in the uk
Not sure you can. I got mine from Bikerzbits in Thailand.

Can you fit any hard top cases on there?
