I searched for hours trying to find other examples of people putting front racks on their trailers and didn’t come up with anything useful for me, so I’m just putting this out there to help other people who might be looking to add a rack one day.

When I bought my teardrop trailer it came with the connections to hook-up a ClimateRight A/C unit, but didn’t have a rack to store it on or transport it. I tried a few things:

1. The trailer manufacturer wanted $200 for a rack and they were in another state, so I had to pay high shipping costs.
   
   
2. Local fabricators wanted $200+ to custom make a rack
   
   
3. Most commercial “trailer tongue racks” were smaller, triangle shaped designs without the capacity I needed, specifically to carry my generator, ClimateRight AC unit, and ideally a gas can outside of the trailer.
   
   
4. I looked at a few “hitch racks” and actually bought one like this cheaper Highland model. The problem is they were very wide, cutting in to my turning radius, and they were structurally weak without the “hitch” beam running down the center, which I would have had to remove to mount it to my trailer frame.
   
   In addition, I really didn’t want to have to drill holes in the trailer frame as I don’t have the tools for drilling in heavy duty steel.
   
   My solution was this- Titan Universal ATV Rear Back Cargo Basket, $79 with free prime shipping at Amazon.
   
   It came with mounting bars that are designed to clamp an existing rack on the back of an ATV, and the 22” x 39” size were almost perfect for holding my Westinghouse Generator (last years design of this model), AC unit, and a 5 gallon gas can.
   
   The only thing I needed to do was go purchase longer bolts for the bracket from my local hardware store (I used ACE instead of a big box so I could buy single bolts instead of large packs, cost me $2.50 total) and in about 30 minutes I had a steel rack clamped down to my trailer tight. Unlike the “hitch” style racks, the ATV rack had a full tubular steel frame that is rigid and strong and required no additional supports or drilling- I simply used the existing mounting holes and brackets to clamp it to the frame.
   
   Of everything I tried this is by far the simplest and best option out there.

I believe those are called “rear frame braces” or rear frame pipe.

In terms of the vehicle being at all safe to drive you need to get this fixed. As others have pointed out, it’s a real rusty mess and there needs to be a way to bolt the replacement parts in place, plus there are other parts (like the rear subframe) they look to be in very bad shape.

Gotta say, removable top box. Yeah they look dorky, but commuting is commuting so you do what you have to. There are some pretty cheap ones out there that can get you started.

Sweet, thanks! Those look a lot like the westins I've been looking at but I like the pointed ends of these.

This rack on the back was easy to install. I had to drill 1 hole in the fender to mount it but it looks good as a solo rack if you don’t plan on having a passenger.

This is what I have on my xr. It works fairly well for side bags and it has mounting holes for a rotopax gas tank on the rear. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OVBBW2Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ISjvzbXNVQ1CT

Do you have any thoughts on something like this?

The prices all vary and there's PLENTY of options elsewhere. I just happened to get these over time. I also bought an engine guard/cage on Amazon but never could get it to fit properly.

Frame sliders.

I have never purchased any, but Im considering it now. They seem to range wildly in price. Some are delrin tipped, some metal. From $230 down to $60 and even some in between.

Why would I buy one over the other?

I'd recommend some nice metal panniers.

I got these guys.

They make the mounting brackets for a variety of other bikes as well so I can swap the boxes between my bikes whenever I need to.

I've beaten the holy living fuck out of these things for the last three years and they are still doing pretty good aside from some of the insulation at the top wearing out.

They do restrict your ability to split lanes though.
I dunno about your bike type, but you can get a bunch of other metal cans in fuckhuge sizes as well. The large tusk ones are about 37 liters, I know there are a few bigger ones out there as well.

I have the Westin HDX steps. I like the look and I’m not an extreme off roader or anything and they have held up well. Easy install with two people or one and a jack. I personally wouldn’t have any, but my wife couldn’t reach to put the car seat in the back seat very well.

I got mine on Amazon and it takes under an hour. 30 minutes if you know what you're doing. Pm me for Amazon link and info if needed

Edit: I've replaced mine twice. Its under 40$

If you need a swing arm or an exhaust for that r6, let me know. Got both lying around in great shape

As others have said, that's the fairing stay. It isn't critical to the structure or operation of the bike - it just holds the front fairing and gauge cluster in place.

I think this is a direct replacement, but you'll want to confirm independently.
