Steel rear motorcycle racks designed, welded, and powder coated in Pine City, Minnesota. This collection covers rack platforms for dual sport and off-road bikes, on-road racks like the Indian Scout Bobber Rear Rack, and the carrier attachments that expand them, all bolt-on with model-specific fitment. Every product is backed by a 30 day try it policy and a 2 year warranty, with free U.S. shipping on orders over $100.
A rear rack is the difference between a bike that carries gear and a rider who wears it.
What's in this collection?
Off-road platforms. The Dual Sport / Off Road Motorcycle Rack puts a welded steel platform on the back of the bike for tools, dry bags, and trail gear that has to survive washboard and whoops without working loose.
On-road racks. The Indian Scout Bobber Rear Rack adds carrying capacity to a bike that came with none, built model-specific so it bolts up clean and looks like it belongs there.
Expansion. The Herc Motorcycle XL Rear Carrier grows the platform for bigger loads, giving tail bags and soft luggage more floor to sit on. Each product page lists what it pairs with and what's included.
Dual sport or on-road: which rack do I need?
Match the rack to the bike, not the other way around. Dual sport racks are built for off-road bikes and the abuse that comes with them: vibration, drops, and loads cinched down hard. On-road racks are built model-specific for street bikes, where fitment and clean lines matter as much as the load. Both are welded steel, both bolt to the bike's existing mounting points, no cutting or fabrication.
Will it fit my bike?
Fitment is listed on every product page, and you can shop the full line by brand: Honda, Indian, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki, and Yamaha. The full motorcycle collection holds the racks plus gear carriers and the rest of the line. Like everything Herc builds, these racks are designed, cut, welded, powder coated, and assembled in Pine City by Product Fabricators, then run on our own bikes on real back roads and trails, and the 30 day try it policy means testing one costs you nothing.
Frequently asked questions
How much weight can a rear motorcycle rack carry?
It varies by rack and by bike, so check the product page for the rack's design and your bike's manual for its rear load limit. The lower of the two numbers is your answer, and how well the load is secured matters as much as how much it weighs.
Do I need the XL Rear Carrier or just the rack?
Start with the rack; it's the mounting platform. The XL Rear Carrier is the expansion for riders whose load outgrew it. Each product page lists what it pairs with, so match it to your setup before ordering.
Will a rack fit with my saddlebags or tail bag?
Racks and soft luggage usually work together, since the rack gives the bag a solid floor and tie-down points instead of resting it on the fender. Check the product page for your bike's configuration, and keep any bag clear of the exhaust.
What if it doesn't fit my bike?
Run it for 30 days on your bike, on your roads, with your gear. If it doesn't install clean, haul hard, and hold up, send it back under the try it policy. Everything also carries a 2 year warranty.
