The Outback Motortek X-Frames for the Suzuki DR650 are the most universal and functional side pannier frames yet, allowing simple, secure mounting of Rotopax, hard panniers and soft luggage.
NOT compatible with the rear grab handles and the rear turn signals need to be relocated.
New for 2019: we’re now offering standard pannier racks. The difference between our standard pannier racks and the X-Frames is that the standard frames don’t feature RotoPax mounts and tabs welded on all four corners.

Designed by Adventure Moto Australia and manufactured by Outback Motortek. The new X-Frames are the most universal and functional side pannier frames yet, allowing simple, secure mounting of Rotopax, hard panniers and soft luggage.
Matte black powder coated mild steel frames with an alloy X-bracket with multiple Rotopax mounting positions for custom weight distribution, as well as multiple tie-down points. You can even remove the X-Bracket from your frames when running Hard Luggage to reduce the frame weight.
This doesn’t come with instructions, but it does say it’s not compatible with the rear grab handles. You should also know the rack is offset, so you’ll want a smaller pannier on the right/exhaust side.
After lots of experimentation, I decided the rear grab handles are actually required, as otherwise the rack would be too close to the rear plastics and squish them. Also, this seems to be the correct spacing for making the rear cross brace the correct width apart. Kind of glad about that because I was having trouble with figuring out how to remount the rear turn signals. Anyways, after going to the hardware store and getting a longer bolt for the right rear mount, I was able to successfully mount it. This was mounted in combination with keeping the passenger footpegs, the grab handles, a Warp 9 cargo rack and an oversized ABS tool tube. This is obviously the best pannier rack on the market.
