steveb74678 Posted April 20, 2009 #1 Posted April 20, 2009 Looking to purchase a luggage rack for my 08 RSTD, pt. no. STR1D6513000. Any suggestions where to buy and get best value on the internet? I have checked with my dealer and they run ~$145.00, any body got any ideas or happen to have one laying around?
ManWithAVision Posted April 20, 2009 #2 Posted April 20, 2009 Looking to purchase a luggage rack for my 08 RSTD, pt. no. STR1D6513000. Any suggestions where to buy and get best value on the internet? I have checked with my dealer and they run ~$145.00, any body got any ideas or happen to have one laying around? I recently bought mine at outdoornetwork.com in Florida. Their price was $135.08 U.S. for the same part number. They specialize in boat parts but if you punch in the correct Yamaha accessory part number they will provide it and usually at a slightly lower price than most bike shops.
Brake Pad Posted April 20, 2009 #3 Posted April 20, 2009 JCWHITNEY.com look under touring bikes, they only have one small section, for the Yamaha, they offer a Luggage rack, looks like the wings, for something like $69.00 I have one pictured, best view
RandyR Posted April 20, 2009 #4 Posted April 20, 2009 from rickrouse price is $120.08 shipping $ 18.46 from boats.net $135.08 shipping is $12.95
Sunman Posted April 20, 2009 #5 Posted April 20, 2009 $115.00 From Motorsports Super Center http://www.motorsportssupercenter.com/pages/catalogs/detail/26/203/403/20544/1/0/0/1/4/90/68/330/rear-luggage-rack.aspx I have ordered many things from them, great prices. Service you can rely on. Sonny
okscott Posted April 20, 2009 #6 Posted April 20, 2009 STR4WM511001 $77.56 Made for the Road Star, fits RSTD fine
Sunman Posted April 20, 2009 #7 Posted April 20, 2009 STR4WM511001 $77.56 Made for the Road Star, fits RSTD fine I had a look at that part, and I have no idea how you mounted it. The luggage rack for the RSTD is designed to keep the quick release function of the passenger backrest intact. 2 clips and the backrest and luggage rack are off. The item you suggested looks like it bolts to the fender in 3 places. I would like to see a pic of your installation if you have one. Cheers!
okscott Posted April 21, 2009 #8 Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Attachs to the rear seat bolt and the license plate frame. No affect on removal of sissy bar/backrest. Edited April 21, 2009 by okscott

Service you can rely on. Sonny Great site Sunman. Any problems getting them to ship to us Canucks. I found another site that had good prices but they wouldn't ship north of the border. I assume since you indicated you have bought from them that this isn't a problem. Their price on the OEM saddlebag guards is twenty bucks less than the best price I have found elsewhere to date.
Sunman Posted April 22, 2009 #10 Posted April 22, 2009 Great site Sunman. Any problems getting them to ship to us Canucks.

Their price on the OEM saddlebag guards is twenty bucks less than the best price I have found elsewhere to date. No problem shipping to us at all. But may I suggest, you specifically request they ship via USPS, NOT UPS. UPS charges up to $45 for brokerage fees to collect the GST and PST on items over $20 US. USPS charges $5. When you order, you can call them (205-921-7777) and ask for Bill. Tell him Sonny from Ontario sent ya. See this thread http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=34075 for one of my experiences dealing with them Or even better, get to know one of our members south of the border, send the stuff to their place, ride down to visit, and put your parts on there. And of course declare all the new parts to Canada Customs when you return. (The last statement was solely for the benefit of any Canada Customs officers who may be browsing the site )
Sunman Posted April 22, 2009 #11 Posted April 22, 2009 Attachs to the rear seat bolt and the license plate frame. No affect on removal of sissy bar/backrest. That was quite ingenious, my hats off to you. Finding compatible parts and accessories is quite the challenge sometimes. Nice job!
steveb74678 Posted April 25, 2009 Author #12 Posted April 25, 2009 Thanks to all of my new friends who posted to my search for the perfect luggage rack and a perfect price to boot. Looks like I have some web searching to do this weekend. Thanks Again to all that gave great ideas!
tazmocycle Posted April 25, 2009 #13 Posted April 25, 2009 the rack that bolts on to back seat bolt and licsene plate frame is for the earlier models(96-01) royals but will still fit the newer(05-present) tds, but it will stays on the bike if you decide to take off your sissy bar. its also great when you solo out the bike and want to use it or not, just a few minutes to take off or put on.

Had to wait about six extra weeks because one item was on backorder. Then, when they took it to the USPS the clerk double keyed the last number in my street address which turned it into a much longer street than it is. Of course good old Canada Post couldn't be bothered looking up my correct address when it made it to my street (what's that saying about neither rain nor sleet nor snow or hail will stop the mail) so they turned the parcel around and sent it all the way back down to Florida. This added two extra weeks to the delivery time before I finally got my parts.

dave_wells Posted May 15, 2009 #17 Posted May 15, 2009 That is the one I have on my 06 RSTD some of these people don't like to ship if there is a problem maybe i can help ya out
RandyR Posted May 15, 2009 #18 Posted May 15, 2009 Thats a great deal. Just pick it up on the ride to Maintenance Day.
DMBUCCI Posted May 17, 2009 #19 Posted May 17, 2009 I also am using the one for the road star, I won it on e-bay (new, in box) with shipping it was 65.00 (US) total. It sits a few inches lower, looks great, and performs well.
shmedly Posted July 1, 2009 #20 Posted July 1, 2009 Attachs to the rear seat bolt and the license plate frame. No affect on removal of sissy bar/backrest. I like this.
StarQ Posted August 26, 2009 #21 Posted August 26, 2009 I ordered the luggage rack from Boats.net a few weeks ago. Waiting and waiting for it, found out it was backordered. The next time I checked it was canceled, they never notified me. Thanks again Sonny. Had a similar experience with an order from boats.net. Had to wait about six extra weeks because one item was on backorder.
hunter 1500 Posted September 12, 2009 #22 Posted September 12, 2009 Thanks for the link Sunman. Ordered one and some hyway pegs.
jemorrisonjr Posted September 12, 2009 #23 Posted September 12, 2009 I will have both the luggage rack and the back rest for sale soon, I have started a mod to my bike that I will no longer have the need for either one..
