Default Bike rack for 2GS??

Anyone have a bike rack on their 2nd gen GS? Looking for one that will pose the least threat to damaging my paint.

I got a thule. Just make sure you put a good coat of wax before you slap it on.

Off topic but benzo, I love your ride. Looks like you raised it a little from some previous pics I have seen?

I use a Saris Bat on my car to carry my Ventana El Saltamontes . I have towels cut into small squares that I put under each of the contact points. The Saris can fit on the rear of my car over the spoiler which is nice.

Looks nice. Thanks for posting the pics!!!

I want to compare that with one that might fit over the trunk.

Hey Benzo, how easy is it for you to put that rack up? I mean are you able to take it down when you want or is it pretty permanent, i.e. screwed/bolted on. Another question, is it locked on so that no one can steal it?
