Templar/Hawk/TT250 pannier rack

BJ · 11-10-2023, 02:39 AM

Does anyone know how similar the bolt holes of the Templar, Hawk, and TT250 are for pannier racks? I found a bolt on rack on Amazon and one of the reviewers reported that he was able to make it work on his Templar.

Most of what I've found on here are guys making their own racks but I'm not quite ready to dig into that project yet. I have a hard case on top with a mpunting spot for extra fuel and would like to add some hard cases to the sides.

Wish I knew that as well, as I'd get that in a heartbeat for my TT. I have soft saddlebags for longer trips, and have to keep them a bit off-center to keep the bottom off the exhaust.

I have soft saddle bags right now also and the same exhaust problem. I don't think they would burn but I sprayed mine down with fire retardant spray just incase.

I picked up a soft silicone heat shield for the muffler off of Amazon to try and avoid burning/melting cargo. Haven't tried it yet because I don't have bags yet. It's a cheap option if it works.

I am entertaining the idea of moto-camping so I've been looking into ready made and homemade solutions and possibly some cheats.
