This lightweight tier of motorcycle racks from UNIT Garage offers an attractive option for anyone looking for an easy-on/easy-off pannier system that doesn't take up a lot of real estate on the bike.There are two componentsto the Klickfix pannier system:
1) The Klickfix Rack (the thing you're looking at)
Each UNIT Garage Klickfix Rack is designed to mount up easily using existing factory mountingpoints on your bikes subframe, without the need to relocate turn signals as is sometimes the case for bigger racks.Racks come supplied with all necessary mounting hardware, which usually consists of just a couple high-quality metric fasteners.
Theseracks are made in Italy from stainless steel and treated with a durable matte black epoxy powder finish, and they fit up like original factory equipment.
A Klickfix rack is defined by two parallel bars set about 4 inches apart.Thissturdy and simpleoutline offers lockable, quick-fitting functionality for easily securingany bag equipped with a matching Klickfix bracket.
Compared to traditional luggage racks, Unit Garage Klickfix racks are purposefully diminutive in scale, cleanly conforming to the contours of the particular bike theyre designed for, and far less noticeable when notcarrying a bag than other systems.

2)A Klickfix Bracket/Bag(not included)
Available separately as a standalone bracket, or included with a complete bag, the Klickfix bracket is thelynchpin for this lightweight pannier system.
The Klickfix design standard is the product of a little-known (to most motorcyclists) third party German company called Rixen Kaul, which produces a wide array of bicycle pannier bag and basket mounts, and one fantastic motorcycle-specific productwithits Klickfix Bracket, which UNIT Garage has smartly capitalized on withscores of bike-specific racks, and a growing catalog of Klickfix bag options.
UNIT offers Klickfix ready roll-top soft bags in waxed canvas, in a range of canvas colors and leather trims; and in a heavy-duty welded TPU Khali Series. Both designs use an ABS plate inside the bag for structure and support.
Note:the Klickfix bracket itself comes with a 10KG/22lb stated load limit. Consideringthe bracket comes from a German manufacturer, andjudging bythe fiberglass-filled Nylon construction, well hazard a guess that theres someappreciable surplus safety factor built into the stated allowances. But officially, its a 22lb weight limit.
If you need to regularly carry more than the equivalent of a 30-pack of 12oz cans, per rack, wesuggest you check out UNIT Garage's parallel of more heavily braced luggage racks and bigger bag/case options.
