This page shows pannier rack systems compatible with the Backcountry 35L Pannier Wedge-Mount system, including any known fit issues. If you don't see your rack listed below, send us a photo of it, and we can provide an opinion on whether it will work. If you check out the video below, you can see how the mounting system works and may be able to figure out whether it will work on your specific rack or not.
A PDF of the Wedge-Mount dimensions can be downloaded by clicking HERE. Use this if you are making a custom rack or want to test the dimensions against an existing rack you are not sure about. It can be printed out at 1:1 scale and held up against your rack.

OEM Tenere 700 Rack You will need our Oil-Cooled Adapter Plate; along with some elongated washers between the rack and the adapter to straighten it out. Note: the bag on the adapter will be slightly lower than the other side. Our recommendation: sell the OEM rack and get the Outback Motorteck rack.

Known Fit Issues
Racks with known fit issues are listed below. Some of these can be made to work if you're handy and have access to tools:
|

Happy Trail SU Rack |
Rally Raid |

Bumot Rack For the Bumot racks, we don't typically recommend them because of the offset on the Bumot rack. Our Oil cooled adapter is the closest in an offset to the Bumot. The Bumot has an approximately 55mm offset and the Oil cooled adapter is 65mm, which means that you have to add a spacer between the lower tube and the adapter - e.g. 2 -3 washers. Since the offset is not exact, there will be a slight tilt to the bags, but 10mm is barely noticeable to the human eye. |
NOT COMPATIBLE:
|
PMR Racks |
Moose Racks |
|
BMW Vario Racks |
Givi Racks - Outback Trekker for newer Honda and Triumph Racks |
|
Specifically, the BMW 1300 is not compatible with our Backcountry Panniers, Euromount or our Adapater plates. |
