I've received my rack and the components look great! The weather hasn't cooperated so I haven't had a chance to install it yet but hopefully soon...

Any thoughts on a good basket to mount on here? I'm starting to think about ways to mount a couple of fuel cans up there and would like to come up with a way to add sides or something.
 
Got the brackets on order.

What is the correct crossbar p/n and length to order from tnutz ?

on the FAQ this is listed as:

EX-1030 – 1″ X 3″ SMOOTH T-SLOTTED ALUMINUM EXTRUSION
Inches - 40
Fractional Inches - 3/16

Does that mean 40" 3/16 total length ?

Correct. When you fill out your order you will fill it out that way. They ask for the inches and then the fractional inches.

Also, your order will hit the mail tomorrow. You should have it early next week.
 
Lessons learned from installing the brackets:

1 - remove the REAR rail covers, not the front ! I did not pay attention to the video and started with the one in front - and there is a stop that blocks the rails.

2 - pry the edges of the covers towards you, NOT up !

3 - the front rail cover is $50.- plus tax at the dealer ...

:lol::lol:
 
I installed mine and I don't notice any wind noise at any speed.

Even at 90mph there is no noticeable wind sound from the rack.
 
Whistle

My RTT on this rack makes a pretty loud whistle at about 70mph+. I look forward to getting a wind faring on there!
 
I’m just about to place the order for a 4 crossbar hardware set.
Looks ideal for my use and look forward to installing it.
How long does it usually take to get the order?
 
I would assume the 5th Gen 2021 is the same as the 2020 so if I read everything correctly I would need:

EX-1030 – 1″ X 3″ SMOOTH T-SLOTTED ALUMINUM EXTRUSION
Inches - 40
Fractional Inches - 3/16
1/4 - 20 Tapped on both ends

I wanted to get them ordered but want to make sure I have the correct size

About 3 days. I ship either the same day as the order or the next business day. It ships priority mail.
 
Just placed an order for the 3 crossbar hardware set this morning and anxiously awaiting the release of the fairing.

One question I had, if I decide to upgrade later to 4 crossbars , can I order a single hardware set, that option ( single set ) is not currently up on the web site ?

I don't list a single bar for obvious reasons. If you need one I think we can work something out.
 
If someone makes an order there will be a delay of a few days. I ordered 150 dollars worth of backing plate fasteners and some jackass stole the order off of my porch.

It was on my porch a grand total of 7 minutes before being stolen. I had to make another order that should be here in a few days. He also stole the fairing hardware I was testing out so I had to order that again too.

Sorry for the delays anyone may experience.
