Frequently asked questions
Which panniers fit these racks?
They are made for the Heavy Duties Rhino aluminium panniers for the CRF 1000L (48/40 L, exhaust cutout), and they also carry soft panniers.
Do I need to modify the bike?
No. Installation is bolt-on with the included hardware — no drilling, cutting or changes to the frame or rear footrests.
Why an asymmetrical rack?
The exhaust-side rack has a cutout, so the pannier on that side sits clear of the exhaust and its heat.
Is there a version for other model years or layouts?
Yes — see the CRF 1000L racks for 2018+ and Adventure Sports.

Der Anbau ist eigentlich problemlos. Eigentlich… 😅
Ich habe leider angefangen auf einer Seite die Schrauben anzuziehen. Dadurch war alles so verspannt, dass es auf der anderen Seite nicht mehr gepasst hat. Naja, selbst Schuld.
Kleines Manko: trotz Anleitung mit Bildern war mir zunächst nicht ganz klar, welche Schrauben ich wo nehmen soll. Auch ein Drehmoment wäre gut. Habe die Schrauben jetzt wahrscheinlich sogar etwas zu fest angezogen. Daher eine Bitte an das Team von Heavy Duties: Schrauben separat einpacken und kennzeichnen, wo diese eingebaut werden und ein Drehmoment mit angeben. 👍

Hi Tobi,
Thank you for your feedback.
We usually recommend inserting all the screws but without tightening them.
After all the screws are in place, but still loose, you can attach the connecting bar, loose as the rest of the bolts.
You can then start working each screw, with only a few threads at a time, until the rack will properly sit on it’s correct position.
The recommended tightening torque is standard, 12Nm for the M6 and 24Nm for the M8 bolts.
Best regards,
Andrei
Joaquim –
Nice looking rack, better then most of the competition.
The positive:
– They look good
– Easy to install. Torque should be 12Nm for M6-screws, and 24Nm for the M8.
– Feels robust and protects the sides, even without bags.
Negative:
– Some parts goes under the seat, therefor you can’t adjust the original seat to the lowest settings. My solution to that was to saw/file a part of the plastic on the seat, to fit the lowest setting. Works, but shouldn’t be an issue.
– Right side is to close to the exhaust pipe
They came with the bike, but I’ve already attached some bags with my own pannier fixing system. Works!

I chose this after long research – I was not disappointed! The strength and choice of material are very good. This can really work as a crash bar. Even after installation, the seat is adjustable to the lowest position. The attached template is accurate and easy to use. Installation is not an easy task, Sunday DIY people can have trouble. What is a strong negative: the concept of the assembly guide is good, but it is horribly photographed and several steps are not always clear; it can be confusing where which screw goes. The pipes run too close on the exhaust side.
