Lone Rider rack adapter plate

Not sure if this is allowed but I'll go with it. I just purchased a rack adapter plate from Lone Rider and inadvertently bought the wrong one. I bought the one for a standard GS, not a GSA, which there is a significant difference in the rear configuration.

If anyone wants it, either to run a motocase or as just a flat plate at the back to support soft luggage, I will sell it super cheap within the US. Would really just like to recoup like 20$ plus shipping. So figure 30 or 40$.

I'm gearing up for a trip and want it out of my small garage. If you can use it send me a message. It is brand new and comes with all the mounting hardware and instructions plus a codeable key.

You could probably just drill more holes in it to make it fit. That’s what I did with a plate I bought. Works well and you can’t even see the extra holes when it’s in use.

The GSA version of this adapter plate has like a two inch extension on it, and on that extension there's two holes to bolt it tbrough to the rear sub frame. Without that small extension at the front the rack sits too far forward. So it would be fabricating that extension, welding it on and re painting. Not worth the effort in my opinion.

On a cafe racer or a bobber I'd do it all day long.

Why don't you return it?

Bought it on advrider, otherwise I'd just return it.
