New Billet Cargo Rack Available

These are great racks!! Looks awesome. I just contacted the guy over his website and talked to him, super nice guy....I already have a rack, but I really could use the ORIGINAL Big Rack....
Wondering if anyone wants to get rid of their as it is not being manufactured anymore.

Just looked on the website.
I will be ordering one of these racks....best out there.

Ordered one Thursday night.......met me at the door today when I got home.. nice kit

Thanks Mr. Scaggs.. for the easy, affordable, good looking kit
just one question though? Is it supposed to angle up like that in the rear, the front by the seat is just about touching the plastic
I would think it should be parallel with the tail, or was I supposed cut down the spacer for the rear, maybe I made a mistake? (see 2 last photos)

I'm pretty sure I need one of these racks. I like the clean profile of the slim model but I see a lot of you get the Big Rack. What are the advantages of the Big Rack over the Slim?

Hey Todd, the big rack was basically created for the task of mounting a Givi Monokey case, although the extra surface area is just useful overall.

Any other questions about them, I'd be happy to help.

Thanks

Jared,

Thanks for the quick response. Is there any negative to the extra size of the Big Rack? I'm guessing it's going to be smaller than just about anything you put on it, so it's not like it adds anything that would interfere. I don't have anything specific to mount to it just yet. For now I just want a place to bungee things or attach a small duffel bag.

-Todd

I never saw a negative for the big rack over the Slim, I personally always preferred the big rack, both in style and its ability to secure bigger things to it just a little better.

Sold. Just ordered from your site.

I have one of the "big" racks, and it's slick as can be. More versatile in my opinion since it gives you a wider base. I run a Wolfman Wolf Tail bag on mine. I might use a monokey at some point for trips.

I have one of the small racks, and if I had to do it all over again I would go with the big rack. Provides more options for everyday use as well as for adventuring. I'm planning my first real trip this summer and am realizing that I don't really have enough real estate to secure a duffel to.

I put mine on the other day and it looks great. I didn't have a 1/2" bit to drill out the rear fender so I started with a 3/8" thinking I could just open it up a bit and slide the spacer in. It very quickly started to look like rubbish so I switched to a spade bit and it cut beautifully perfect holes. If you're looking to put one one, I'd definitely go with the spade bit over a traditional bit for a cleaner job.

I bought the mini a couple months ago. I like the profile of it more. I am planning on adding the rotopax kit so I don't think having less space will bother me. I have yet to do this.... Maybe I wont be able to tie around the rotopax at all? I didn't think it would matter tho since the rotopax is bigger than both racks...

The rotopax mounts sideways on the rack.  With a 1 gallon rotopax this exposes the front and rear slots on the rack for tying additional items on top of the rotopax.  When I bought my big rack a couple of years ago the small rack had two slots on front and only one on the rear.  The big rack had two slots on front (spaced farther apart than the small rack) and two slots on the rear too.  I bought the big rack primarily because it was easier to secure items on top of the rotopax.

I don't think I could have tied my bag on top of the rotopax like this with the small rack:

I'll alter parts new outa the box, if need be... Piece of aluminum here, a weld there, dun. The rack is anodized, but that wouldn't stop me... I could add an in-between rack n rotopax rack. No welding necessary. 12x12x1/8" aluminum, mount to the rotopax bolts for easy, the rack bolts themselves for structure, Profile it how I like it, drill some tie down holes exactly where I want, n I still have my sexy but functional for me bike. This things getting built exactly how I want, even if they don't make what I want. This is the wrong place for this but I just remembered... The flatland racing radiator guard is probably better than stock, slightly, but there's no cover on the lower radiator tank at all. I added a strip of aluminum to cover it already. I might beef it up a little more still... I've cracked other aluminum radiator tanks and they are about as think as a soda can wall... Maybe twice as thick but that's still thin. Rocks can get kicked up and go through the crankcase, I've seen it, but not paper thin radiator tank? This settles it, I'm off to the radiator guard section. That is some bs.

Hi All,

I'm very late to the WR250R party but wanted to reassure any other new comers that this rack is still available and looks fantastic! Incredibly easy to install with supplied bolts and spacers from Jnscaggs! Even drilling the fender with my ineptitude produced a perfectly aligned result!

I'm not only an Aussie - but I'm remote, literally in the outback Northern Territory - so usually anything coming from the US means its the final price plus another half, but I'm here to tell you there is nothing on the planet I could find that looks even half as good as these with the same final dollar amount.

My apologies for such a long winded first post (and my dirty fender) as I do try and stick to a less is more mentality.

Get onto Jared guys, treat yourself and get the recut chamfers version! He was extremely prompt and helpful! (thanks again if you read this!)

Quick question I see that the large wider version fits well with the Wolfman Tail bag super interested on how the bag fits on the slimmer rack? Anyone tried this have a picture?

Thanks in advance

I've grown to hate photobucket... It runs too slow on my computer. Might be better if I paid but I don't. I have a pic of it over in the pictures forum with the wolfman tail bag mounted to a slim rack.

I put the Scaggs Moto big rack on my 2016 WR250R. I also added the Scaggs Givi Monokey mount kit and mounted a Givi Trekker 42 top box.
Here's a video review I did on the setup.

Great to see these are still available, I've just ordered a big one.

My main motive is Rotopax mounting but I'm trying to choose between 1 gallon, 1.75 gallon and 2 gallon gen 2. Could someone please post top down photos of any of these combinations?

Seems the ability to mount the Rotopax base in either orientation has been removed which shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Thanks

Where can I get one? Could someone send a link to page? Thank you.
