Description

High-quality German-made Quick-Lock luggage sideracks by SW-Motech. These narrow profile black powder-coated steel racks are compatible only with GIVI V35 PLX side luggage cases. No additional adapter kit necessary. This unique design of this rack over other side racks is that it allows the racks to be removed from the bike in less than 30 seconds. This is done without special tools by twisting 3 to 4 quarter-turn quick-release fasteners on each side rack.
Will not fit the 2012 model.

Once removed there are side rack mounting tabs remaining. The mounting tabs are almost invisible preserving the original visual appearance and size of your motorcycle. Optional keyed rack locks (sold separately) are available to lock the racks to the bike with the key unlocking a pair of special quick-release fasteners which secure the racks on each side. The quick-Lock racks are made of tubular steel which presents the narrowest possible lateral profile.

Bolt-on installation – no drilling or welding of motorcycle frame or bodywork is necessary.

Two minor plastic cutouts (approximately 1″x1″) are required on the underside of the rear tail section during installation – these cutouts are not visible unless your head is on the ground looking up at the bike. If you are not familiar with machining plastic with a Dremel we recommend having this sidecarrier professionally installed by a dealer. See the installation instructions for details.

Racks are designed to work with original equipment manufacturer components – fender exhaust etc. The SW-MOTECH racks are ideal for the occasional weekend tourer who desires a “stealth” look during the week as well as the weekday commuter who needs an unencumbered machine for spirited weekend fun.

Special Notes:Exhaust Fitments

  • KR Tuned Exhaust – Some riders have fashioned brackets to move the cans down 1 inch giving you enough room to mount the racks and Givi V35 cases.
  • Most Akropovic Systems – known not to fit with the contour carriers.

    I just finished installing these on my 2009 ZX14 and they fit really well on the bike. If you’re a novice mechanic like me be prepared to spend some time on it, though. I carefully followed the instructions and didn’t rush the job and ended up spending about 4 hours on it. I’m sure a more experienced person could hammer it out quicker if they wanted.
    It’s a bit of a struggle to clip the Givi cases on, but they do fit. Just quite snug, is all. I won’t be able to take them for a spin until I get new mufflers (currently have Delkevic carbon fiber mufflers that ALMOST fit) though I knew going in that I would possibly have to get new mufflers. However, I’m fairly confident that it fits well and will hold up on the highway.
    I have a fender eliminator for the license plate, not the original fender. The back cross piece is supposed to screw to the license plate, but I think it will be fine bolted between the two frames without needing a rear fender to bolt into. I’ll test it out and update this review if disaster strikes.
    Overall I’m very happy with this product so far and can’t wait to try it out. I worried about whether or not it would fit my 09 ZX14, and it does, so I’m writing this review mostly for anyone else with the same bike that might be wondering.
    Cheers!

    Very well made. Highly recommended.

    This was installed on a 2015, but I did change the pipes. The hard-bolt kit, which I didn’t buy, is recommended. You can see I added straps for more stability. The instructions were great and the cut-out template very helpful. You will need to cut/change the rear plastic if you don’t have the grab bar.

    Excellent quick release rack

    richardVT

    This is a very nice rack which securely mounts the Givi V35 ( PLX only) bags
    it’s meant for the 06-11 ZX14R , mine is a ’12 , so a small mod to keep the exhaust cans away from the bags was necessary (not sure why I couldn’t find a 12 version ?. One of very good features is just how quick you can release the bags , and also with a quarter turn on 4 special fasteners on each side , the whole rack comes off giving a very clean appearance when you don’t want to ride with bags.
    This has turned my ZX14r into an amazing sport tourer

    Works fine on Gen 2 ZX14R....

    Mounts right up on a 2013 ZX14R, though not with stock exhaust. Great product!

    top notch design

    Leland

    Instructions were better than average, Twisted Throttles video was very helpful as well.
    The template made the cutting a breeze.
    Removal is crazy simple, very stable triple digit speeds.
