    Do i really have to build my own rack?

    :?

    I can't believe that no one in the whole of the UK can supply a rack for a GS1100 (1983) that i can fix a hard top box onto - that i don't have to practically create from scratch....

    please - can anyone prove me wrong?

    No.

    The arms and mounts of the older Goldwing rack and box combos are wide enough. I had to manufacture brackets to get it mounted on my 650G, but it looked like it would be a small mod to fit an 1100E.

    Check one out. Box and rack cost $40 from a bike junkyard. (It was petol-bismol pink.. no one wanted it. I just sanded it down and repainted it)

            These are often available on E-bay, but overseas shipping costs may be higher than desired.

            Note that there is a considerable height difference between the mount and seat height on Suzukis, so other racks may look good, including universal ones, but they are often too low.

              racks in the UK

              The local bike breaker has piles of racks from various bikes, so I'd assume yours will as well. I was just looking at hte new issue of the UK magazine Classic Motorcycle Mechanics (http://www.classicmechanics.com/) and they had ads from many UK breakers, maybe give some in there a ring?

                I love that magazine. I wish we had classic bike mags here in the states
