Riders running soft luggage on the Kawasaki KLE500 now have a straightforward way to keep their gear where it belongs. A new installation guide walks owners through fitting the Outback Motortek Rackless Support, a lightweight setup built to stop bags from sagging into the rear wheel or brushing against the hot exhaust.
The video breaks the process down step by step, aimed at anyone prepping their bike for off road trips. A couple of tips stand out. Installers are told to keep all hardware loose until every bolt gets threaded by hand, which helps avoid cross threading during setup. Blue threadlocker gets recommended for the subframe mounting points too, since vibration from rough terrain can work bolts loose over time.
The guide fits into Outback Motortek’s ongoing series of build and installation tutorials for adventure bikes. Full details on the rackless support, along with the rest of the company’s KLE500 parts lineup, are available through their website.
My two cents…
When your KLE500’s soft luggage keeps flirting with the exhaust like it’s auditioning for a fire hazard commercial. Outback Motortek’s Rackless Support fixes that, and there’s a new video walking you through it. Bolts stay loose till hand threaded, blue threadlocker on the subframe. Basic, but skip it and you’re basically MacGyvering disaster.
