Where can I get......?
« on: April 07, 2012, 12:24:32 »
I'm going mad trying to find the bolts and spacers to fit my Suzuki DL650 top box. I got the rack and box when I purchased the bike but it wasn't fiited and no bolts or spacers were given. I've searched and searched and searched! The parts list posted doesn't identify the part numbers. Can anyone help me please. Thanks Steve.

This probably won't help but I was told by a dealer that you can't buy them separately. If you know anyone with the same then perhaps look at theirs.

Are they anything special?

Could you not get something from a hardware or fasteners type place?

Which rear luggage rack is it? The allow one with the rubber pad on it or the tubular one like on the GT version of the bike. A pic would help if you're not sure.

The alloy rack does not have any spacers,the steel rack has spacers about 35mm long, I just stacked some 8x25mm OD washers  to the correct height and then stuck them together with plastic metal to stop them flying around during assembly,you will need to put a smaller washer at the bottom of the stack to get it to sit correctly on the sub frame, I did consider boring out some old bar ends as they are about the right size.
