Hi all,

I have just bought a 99 Adventurer and need a rear rack for it so I can fit a box to keep my helmet in at the station. ( I know it won't look good and it will be removed for sunny days out)

Does anyone know who makes a rack that will fit?

Will a rack for a Thunderbird fit?

Thanks Jim

Thunderbird rear racks and sissybars will not fit the Adventurer.

Racks for the Adventurer will be difficult to find.

Also there is a difference in the early and late Adventurer.
99 was the first year for the later model. So check it out thoroughly, some accessories might fit both.

I found one on ebay recently for $100. They had several in stock. While the TB sissy bar won't fit the rack should.

I bought an 2000 Adventurer rack for my 2000 TB and it would not fit. The Adventurer rack was to wide. Nick

Seems like a lot of extra parts are hard to find, especially for the Adventurer. I also have a 2000 Adventurer. I made my own rack, and it cost me $20 total. Mounted a trunk on it so I could run errands and also put my helmet in when I go into a store. Haven't found any helmet lock on this bike.

Check out Hepco Becker! They make a nice rear rack and top case for my 95 Thunderbird. Not sure if they offer anything for the Adventurer. See picture below!

Jim,

If I am not correted, I believe the Adventurer and the Legend are one in the same. If so, I may have a rear sissy bar and rack.

Check if this is true and get back to me if you are still interested...

They are not the same because everybody offering luggage racks for the TB also list it to fit TBS and Legend, but never adventurer. Presumably, the harleyesque rear fender is creating problems.

Are you sure about that?

The Adventurer was supposed to be the Legend all dressed up in chrome...

 

[faffi]

The Legend is a mix of the original TB and the TBS with a few twists of its own like the seat. The Adventurer had a solo seat and a big rear fender, although a dual seat was an option.

You should be able to find them both here http://www.freewallpapers.cz/motorcycles/index23.htm

Edit: The Adventurer came out in 1996 and the Legend in 1999 if memory serves, the latter as a low-cost option. Not unlike the Guzzi Jakal.

Faffi is correct. The Adventurer has a different rear subframe to that of the Legend and the Thunderbird, hence the different luggage racks, sissy bars, seats etc.

Search the forum, there are lots of relevant threads, including this one with a comparative picture:
