The Quick-Lock EVO carrier is next generation of luggage carrier by SW-MOTECH. Same, great Quick-Lock design, with a more robust, tubular steel rack that has an even more narrow profile than the original sidecarrier! The racks can be removed from the bike in less than 30 seconds without special tools by opening 3-4 quick-release fasteners on each side. These black, powder-coated, tubular steel racks are compatible with luggage cases from GIVI (Monokey system), TraX ALU-BOX, Pelican, Micatech, Kappa, Shad, Hepco-Becker, Krauser, and more. Luggage-specific adapter kits are sold separately.
These are an upgraded version of the discontinued KFT.05.294.100.
When the racks are removed, only 4 small mounting tabs remain visible on either side of the bike. These mounting tabs are almost invisible, preserving the original visual appearance and size of your motorcycle. Required luggage-specific adapter kits are sold separately.
Overall width with racks: 540mm (21.3 inches)
In addition, optional key locks (sold separately) are available to lock the racks to the bike, with the key unlocking a pair of special quick-release fasteners which secure the racks on each side.
The Quick-Lock racks are made of flat steel which presents the narrowest possible lateral profile. Bolt-on installation -- no cutting or welding of motorcycle frame or bodywork is necessary.
Racks are designed to work with original equipment manufacturer components -- fender, exhaust, etc.
The rear fender side reflectors that attach to the license plate bracket on the North American V-Strom model must be relocated to the bottom of the license plate (instead of the top) if you wish to retain the reflectors after installation of the SW-MOTECH sideracks.
The SW-MOTECH racks are ideal for the occasional weekend tourer who desires a "stealth" look during the week, as well as the weekday commuter who needs an unencumbered machine for spirited weekend fun. Whatever your needs, the SW-MOTECH racks allow maximum flexibility and convenience.
Due to the presence of a single-sided right exhaust on the DL650, the left siderack is approximately 1.25 inches closer to the centerline of the bike than the right siderack. When installing Pelican cases on these carriers a simple fit adjustment kit is required.
NOTE: This product will require relocation of the rear turn signals during installation. All necessary brackets, along with additional wiring, are included in the kit. Although the kit comes with extension wires, they are not required. You need to tuck the wires between the taillight and the fairing (see photo). It has been reported on Stromtrooper.com that you you don't need to relocate the turn signals when using the Givi E41's. The right side clears with room to spare, and the left side just clears.

Instead of modifying the reflector bracket just bolt the bracket et al down to the lower holes of the license plate.. ;?) >>> Can anybody confirm this works? - TwistedThrottle
