What are the pros and cons of a rear six pack rack?

If you have a rear rack, can you still stand the machine up on the rear wheels for servicing etc...?

 

Bumping it to the top

 

I dont think you can stand it up....the rack looks like it sticks out like 6 inches. I personally dont like them, I just got a PRM grab bar, I think those look WAY better.

 

I am going to get one for my raptor. I dont think you can stand it up anymore....Pro's of a 6 pack rack...having a nice cold drink in the middle of a long ride when you mouth is dry and full of dust! Cons....you look like your somebody dad. but who cares I say its worth it to have a drink when you are out riding cause that is usually why I decide to turn back because I am thirsty.

 

Its just a suggestion but i ware a back pack and i allways carry atleast 3-5 drinks in a cloth cooler i just put it in the back pack and wrap a wallmart bag around the cooler just incase it leaks any + i carry a little food and some tools in it and it doesnt bother me at all wearing it as long as you get one with some nice wide straps on it in fact i think it a plus in the cold winter it keeps my back nice and warm and holds all my goodies but just a ideal some people goes for it some dont .But as far as the six pack rack i see nothing wrong with it look's kinda neat with a cooler on it but i think they look funny with out one = it probaly would help if you ever flipped back on a hill it might hold it long enuff for you to jump up and grab it before it goes[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img].

 

it will help when u do wheelies[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I have had an Armadillo 6 pack rack for years and it works great. Just make sure the coolers contents are in there snug for no movement and you are good to go. I can still stand my Raptor up on the rack for inspection / servicing.

 

OK I oredered one from PRM.

It's way too handy to have something to either carry extra gas, or drinks or to bungy a jacket or rain gear to....

And I got the PRM cause I love their skids.

 

I have the PRM full cargo rack and it still stands on end. Pretty good bet your six pack will too.
