I've not had my S10 a long time, but I do know that I cannot seem to find a pillion luggage rack for my 2017 ES. Altrider seemed to have stopped making theirs, and Touratech doesn't do one for the UK market that I can find.

Any suggestions welcomed in the UK / European market
thanks

Hi! I wanted a pillion rack too but had a really challenging time finding what I wanted. I decided I'd try my hand at some metalwork using 3/16 aluminum. I posted some pics in this thread:

What you did to your Tenere today??!!

Wow! Nice work. +1 looks really good

Best of luck finding what works for you, cheers

Isn't Touratech out of Germany or something?

I just had a quick mooch around online and can only find Hepco and Becker selling a pillion rack. SW Motech, Touratech and Altrider came up blank. Altrider's website has a rear rack that says it can be combined with a pillion rack but when you click the link for the pillion rack it just takes you to a blank page.

Thanks Paul - indeed the Altrider one would have been an easy fix for me - but for some reason they don't seem to make it anymore. Thanks for the H&B link

I guess by a pillion rack you mean a rack that fits in place of the pillion seat? I have. Touratech and a Givi rear rack but as you know, these fit in place of the stock rack and not in place of the pillion seat.

Regarding Touratech UK, I didn’t realise they were opening a distribution centre on the north of England. Their U.K. base is just 4 miles away from my home, however, I don’t suppose it is open to the public right now.

That's right. I have the Bumot pannier set already incl the top box for if/when I need it.... I don't use the pillion seat and would love to add a rotopax to it etc
