1600 Classic accessories???

[djaykdxr]

I recently purchased an 05 1600 classic. As I begin looking for accessories for my ride, I find that there are not many accessories, at least kawasaki brand, for the 1600 classic. I see alot for the 1500 classic/FI.
I have already purchased the Fire and Ice large shield. Love it!
However now I am looking to get a backrest and rack, as well as some bags.
Kawasaki does have a backrest for the 1600 classic, however no rack. Where would I find a rack for my 1600 classic?

Thanks

Scootworks has alot of great accessories http://209.15.36.61/swcart/shop.cgi/...123420623.2501

Off course buying Fire and steel accoriess from Beartooth Kawasaki who owns this board. If you call them you get I think 10 or 15% off retail price if you let them know you're a member of this board.

Also there is Custom World Int'l were my backrest is from

I also have a 2005 Classic 1600. I put the Cobra backrest and rack on my bike as they have rack that fits the application, unlike the Fire and Steel. If interested I have some new parts for sale for this bike that are currently listed on eBay. Have the standard backrest and the Cobra saddlebag supports.

I have found the same thing after buying a 03 1600 classic, I have found that if you keep looking in all the sites they all have a little of this and a little of that and you can find some nice stuff just not all on web sight. What are you looking for. I have spent all winter looking all over the interent for stuff and kind of know who makes what.

Yes, the Kyuraken (sp?) ones.

The rack looks better then in the pic...have been happy with it...there is usually a bag sitting on it.

Very nice we'll have to try and get together for a poker run or a short ride. I live in Kannapolis.

Hey ontwowheels....
I have just recently purchased the Kawasaki Fire and Steel backrest for my 1600 classic. I am happy with the looks and all, however, the first time my wife rode with me after installing it, she said it vibrated alot. At first I dismissed her comments and then after a couple of days, I noticed that I could feel it causing vibration even from my seat when nobody was riding with me. Have you noticed that your backrest acts the same way?

Thanks

Sorry....just saw your question. I bought my bike, an 04 1600 used and the Kawi passanger back rest was already on. I am not sure if it vibrates, I have never sat back there... My 13 year old daughter has ridden with me quite a bit, she hasn't mentioned it.

I have the F&S on a 2005 Classic and I asked my wife who hasn't ridden w/ for 10 Months but she said she doesn't remember it vibrating. However she's got no other beackrest experince to compare the vibration to.
