Our MONSTER-SIZED Helo Pad for the liquid-cooled GSA provides riders with the ultimate way to secure extra gear to their bikes.
Whether you need to haul camping gear, extra fuel, or a WARN recovery winch—this extra-large rear rack can handle it all. We named it the “Helo Pad” because it’s almost big enough to land a helicopter! Hey, you never know when you might need a landing pad in the backcountry....
Here’s what you need to know about our Helo Pad:
These stout plates are made of 1/4″ aluminum, with generous-sized holes around the perimeter for tie down points. Hard anodized in black for a lasting finish
This design has several notable unique features and benefits:
- A solid design that replaces the passenger seat and occupies the space of the stock rear grab handles / rack.
- Pre-drilled to carry RotopaX fuel or water containers in 14 possible locations, either lengthwise or across the bike.
- Pre-drilled to accommodate the WARN XT17 winch carrying plate in two different positions—one towards the front of the bike and another towards the rear
- Type 2 anodized black for a durable finish.
- Generous-sized tie down points make strapping items to the rack an easy process.
We strongly recommend using ROK Straps to secure items to your rack/bike. We’ve used ROK Straps for years and consider them the safest, longest-lasting, secure and most convenient solution.
Our Helo Pad Multi-Function Rear Rack comes with the ability to mount the RotopaX carriers (for 1, 1.75 and 2 gallon fuel or water containers), as well as the support plate (ordered separately) to carry a WARN XT17 electric winch. Serious adventure riders are quickly seeing the benefit of carrying these lightweight electric winches for recovering a bike off the trail, or simply navigating around an obstacle which would otherwise require a “U-turn” to seek an alternate route.
Hardware and spacers are provided—SIMPLE install—goes on with just four bolts.
The Helo pad measures approximately 21-inches long x 14-inches wide. This size is compatible with all known SADDLEBAG luggage systems including BMW, Touratech, Hepco-Becker, Jesse, Happy Trails, SW-Motech and Micatech. This rack is NOT designed to carry a top box.
Notes:
- NOT compatible with the stock plastic grab rail.
- NOT intended to carry a passenger (that would just be cruel!).
- We have pre-drilled this rack to accommodate the WARN F800GS Stow Plate (available separately—see related products).
- Carrying the RotopaX requires use of their specific mounts—either Standard, Deluxe or Lockable (see related products). This rack is pre-drilled to accommodate all of these mounts, as well.
