Heffy Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I need a luggage rack for my VSTAR 950 tourer. Looking around the standard Yamaha STR-3D-851-30-00 one is reported to break, does anybody know of a really good one that bolts straight on to the standard sissy bar?

Ttaskmaster Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yep, plenty of 'em out there. Almost as many as saddlebag makes. Google is your friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heffy Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hmmm, well the only one that I could find that fits the standard sissy bar on the tourer is the Yamaha one, there are plenty (Cobra, Bub) that look really nice but require me to throw away the 950 sissy bar. I can see why the Yamaha one fails because of those thin mounting plates, I haven't found one that clamps to the tubular uprights - that would be better.... Gonna visit the local Yamaha people in San Jose this weekend and look. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarke Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 If you're in the US try http://store.valueaccessories.net/luggageandaccessories-10.aspx I think they do aftermarket ones fit your bike + hold more weight than standard one. There's also http://www.yamahasportsplaza.com/pages/catalogs/detail/26/203/403/20548/1/0/0/1/4/90/5464/63354/rear-luggage-rack.aspx for cheaper OEM one Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heffy Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Looks great and its strong - I stood on it after I fitted it I think it will workout - fits my Kuryakin bag perfectly. http://picasaweb.google.com/hefyjefy/20100228# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemanbiker62 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Heffy - It's been a few years since you posted the luggage rack info. The link no longer works. Any idea what brand and model number your luggage rack is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemanbiker62 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Never mind. Found yours and it doesn't fit a 1300, but found another that was similar. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarke Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 For the 1300 it's this one: (same shop I linked above). http://store.valueaccessories.net/LuggageRackYamaha1300VStarTourerFitsYamahaOEMBrackets.aspx It's machined from a single piece of metal and is extremely strong.
