Hi all,
does anyone have a view on our hosts rack (p/n: 200003) for a 2015 B5 Bullet? It's rapidly turning into a bit of a beast of burden and I seem to need to load it with an ever-increasing pile of stuff - tips on loading Bullets with practical luggage appreciated. I've still not found a way of strapping my Benbo tripod and RB67 to it successfully, but I'm working on it. That last reference will not resonate with anyone who has no interest in film photography, an additional hobby that perplexes the wife and kids, especially the darkroom in a shed, inside my garage (next to the Bullet).

I put one on my 1999 500 Bullet and it looks good, and I just had to make a couple of little spacers to bolt it to the frame. I'm not sure how long your tripod is but you could probably side it between the rack and the support arms, and remember not to filter through traffic. If you're able to look at the Royal Enfield GB facebook pages, I've posted pictures there over the months.

First one lasted a year. On my second one now...
When it says max load 7.5kgs It means max load 7.5kgs.
Don't go do what I did and put 12.5kgs on it and expect it to remain in one piece!

Mine needed spacers to avoid forcing the rear lugs so I used a couple of zinc plated washers normally found on a scaffold pole fixing bracket which were absolutely perfect for the job.

No good to bring home a bag of cement on then (I'm joking btw).

Hang on, this is worrying, having just fitted such a rack with a view to taking my old Swagman throw overs and a large holdall to I of M in September. Never noted weight limit - guess I'll have weigh everything now! P.S. trip deiberately planned for after Manx - I love bikes, but not bikers en masse!
