Chalongian Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi, does anyone know where I can get a surfboard rack (ie a couple of hooks) to go on the side of a PCX? I have one on my mio now but I bought that in Bali. Im not sure who makes/sells them in Phuket but I have seen a few knocking around before so im assuming they all didnt come from Bali....anybody??

Nice one, I thought I saw a PCX with some fancy looking rack on a while ago, not the usual style ones on mine and other bikes. I guess that was your mate, cant be many around. Any chance you can find out exactly where he got them made and how they attach on? Im not sure if you have to cut the plastic or not. Or If could go and have a quick look at it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britpop Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 am i missing something here, you want to attached metal, as in extra weight to off set the balance of your PCX and then strap a 6-8 foot missile shaped board to it to ride on the open roads, fantastic!!!!, i often say to farang that carry there kids in little seats on there motor bikes without helmets, do they strap the same kid to the car bonnet/ hood when they use there cars.

pagallim Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) I'm really not familiar with the PCX, but was interested what kind of solutions could be found for the OP. Further searches got this, for a Vespa, but I'm sure could work for a PCX also. Edited November 4, 2012 by pagallim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalongian Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 I'm really not familiar with the PCX, but was interested what kind of solutions could be found for the OP. Further searches got this, for a Vespa, but I'm sure could work for a PCX also. This is what I have on my mio already, and pretty much what I'm looking for for a pcx, the difference being the way the hooks attach to the bike. On the vespa and mio and any other bike where the frame doesn't come up between your legs and you have that big space for your feet its pretty straight forward to add a front hook. On a PCX you don't have free space that so Im wondering where it attaches to. The back one just attaches to the grab rail behind the seat, i guess thats just the same. Damaz is gonna post some pics now anyway when his mates back so Im sorted. Thanks for trying anyway and not being a ball bag like britpop : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damaz6052 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Quick update... he bought the racks in Aus they're made in Hawaii and cost $300AUD. Sorry I though he had them made here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
