I know there is a rack available for the 1400 but has anybody seen one for the 1000 or have one on their bike. These pictures are from the Concours site.
They are still available from Kawasaki USA/outlets and are not real cheap. However they do bolt to the frame rather than the tailpiece.

The original Gearsak rack from "Gearsak"bolts directly to the frame of all GTR1000's. You can then modify the rack to suit what ever you want.
Not sure how much the racks are now, but they are bound to be cheaper than the imported ones. Ben |

I don't know if they would be cheaper because Gearsack has stopped making the racks.
The Kawasaki OEM adapter for the rear rack is $89.21 USD. The rack is $110.46 USD. A padded Backrest is $84.96 USD. So you would be looking at $250 to $280 AU landed.

Wouldn't be hard to copy the Gearsac, it's just press bent square tube and a couple of bent bar stock feet. There is a market I think, they're a
far sturdier rack than the pissy Ventura rack.
It'd only take someone to pattern one up on a piece of plywood and weld em up. There are six bends to do, all easy. I carry automotive batteries, slabs of beer and cylinder heads on my Gearsac all the time. Hell, even the original powdercoating is still in great nick. Regards, Andrew.
