No problem. You will note that the installation requires removal of the black standard pillion handles, which isn't a concern because the rack incorporates replacements. It is high quality, but fairly small - it is perfect for my tail bag but a bigger one may be more suitable for larger loads.
That pretty nice looking. I kind of wish I have seen it before I order this from tourtech http://www.touratech-usa.com/Store/PN-410-0160/Small-luggage-rack-Husqvarna-TE-250-310-450-510 ( I'd post the picture but it does't look like I can from an I-pad, sorry)
Thanx for the pics. So have ordered one too. A bit late as I´ve scratched the plastic and need a decal to cover up the damage. New bike and shop soiled already!
I like it. Looks sturdy and well made. Is that hand crafted by Trooper Lu himself ? I've got the TCI Borrego rack on my 610. Also got the Sequoia Tail bag by Cortech that straps on to it. It's a kind of bulky setup so I only strap it on for long outings or if I need to carry a lot stuff as I've come to realize that wearing a backpack is a lot better for hard off-road riding.
That is just the OEM 630 rack from Husqvarna, too bad it doesn't fit the 610 or I would've ordered one too...
The rack is a Husky genuine spare part, as included in its 2011 special parts catalogue. I had the dealer, Trooper Lu's Garage, fit it from new, along with various other bits and pieces. They sourced it from Husky's Australian importer. I am very happy with it - high quality, neat & streamlined, incorporated pillion handles, stainless steel frame fitted with 4mm aluminium plate rack. I believe it is rated to carry loads of up to 5kgs, so it sounds like it's really designed for small/medium tail bags rather than huge loads. That's fine for me, as it' s all I need, but those needing to carry larger loads may be better off with something sturdier.
As yet, I´ve always used a back pack (and even an Army mortar ammunition back rack for heavier loads) as the weight slips down onto the rear fender and so is no great strain. But it does muck up the white plastic on the 630. So have now ordered a Husky decal to cover up the damage and the Husky rack. Thanx for the pics! PS Wonder whether Trooper Lu could open a branch here in Germany?
What was the total cost and is there a link to the part? I checked parts diagram, did not see anything that said "rack."
It's a nice looking piece if not a little small. Just watch out putting much weight on there, here's all that's holding up the whole assembly back there: I came up with these as a fix, one on each side, 3/16" aluminum bar stock:
The bolts were just put in that way for setting up. Final assembly has them going the other way and are sized to just fit. There are no clearnance issues, in fact, the untrained eye cannot tell. Here's a pic of the finished underside and a link to the rest of the story, starting on post 57: http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/new-rack-for-te630-coming-from-turbo-city.20567/page-3
