Welcome to the site, DirtRider.

Nice to see you're a MTBer too. Have you seen the latest Dirt Rag extra:

First Impression: 2x2 Cycles Motorcycle Bicycle Rack | Dirt Rag Magazine

I would love to get a Johnny Rack but I already am top heavy with a Givi topcase. Happy riding.

yeah my buddy has a 2x2 cycle bike rack on his GS1200... he loves it... the rack i built moves around too much for my taste but it was fun to build and tinker with... i talked with 2x2 this morning.

I can't seem to find anyone selling the Johnny Rack... are they outta business??

I really want to head to Moab with my mtn bike attached and camp off the wee... do some Wee rides and Mtn rides... my buddy and i as talking about doing that later this year!!

Camping off the bike is a blast!!! so much room to carry gear and food... i even found a platapus folding bottle that was made to hold an entire bottle of wine!! yippeee!!
