hi there ! Wondering if the rack could be installed in a 450 KTM EXCR? thanks!+ Show Answer
It should fit seamlessly if you have an optional rear luggage rack for that bike.

Will it fit on a Vespa scooter which has a rear rack?+ Show Answer
This moped surf rack should bolt up seamlessly to most rear luggage racks, even for Vespa scooters.
However, each bike/rear luggage rack combo is a bit different and if your rear luggage rack has round tube then you might find better compatability using our Dual-Mount Surfboard Moped Rack.
You can mount the surfboard hooks close together like on the single-mount version, but the mount system is a bit more versatile. -

Will it fit a 2022 Kawasaki MLR650?+ Show Answer
It will if you have a luggage rack attached. These are needed in order to mount the surf rack to. Otherwise, you'd need to custom fabricate to the bike's frame somehow.

can this be used on an electric bike rack?+ Show Answer
This single-mount (sandwich clamp) style surf rack could work for your e-bike depending on how the bike & geometry is setup. It would likely need a luggage rack or something similar (typicaly the frame on the e-bike) in the shape of a luggage rack where this rack could clamp the upper and lower mounting plates to.
More often than not it will be pretty challenging to mount the upper/lower plates directly to an e-bike so we have e-bike specific racks that have multiple options to allow more versatility with mounting and board selection. You can find that page here: E-Bike Board Rack | Shortboard - Longboard - SUP
Check out the pictures in the link above to determine which mount-type you'll need (each style has a different mount.)
When in doubt you can always email us some pics of your own bike and any other questions to info@epicsurfracks.com -
Ever tried to lay Skis/poles in the rack?+ Show Answer
We've heard customers that have used this rack successfully for both skis with poles and customer's using it for snowboards as well.
However, they did mention needing to tie it down with a separate bungie / utility strap to get it to be fully secure. As you likely know the mountains can provide some windy conditions at times.
The Dual-Mount Moped Rack can be mounted similarly to this rack(so that the mount tubes are spaced closer together) but actually has separate attachment loops meant for a custom tie down or bungie. Using it via this method may keep your gear a little more secure, and will likely provide a more stable driving experience.
We're used to using this rack in the cozy climtate of Southern California.
It can obviously get pretty cold up on the mountain! If driving the moped for a few runs it's probably a good idea to bring an extra/warm set of clothes for the drive to & back! -
I have a Honda 520 TRX quad. Will your surf rack work?+ Show Answer
This rack could work seamlessly depending on which stock Honda mount system you have on that quad.
However, an easier approach might just be this rack:
Surfboard Moped Rack | Dual-Mount | Holds Longboards
We've had a customer who was a lifeguard here in California. He sent in pics with his Quad (and what seems to be your exact rig) and he was stoked on the results with the Dual-Mount Rack version in the link above. -
I have 1975 Honda XL 250. Will your single-mount system work for my bike? Thanks+ Show Answer
This single-mount surf rack should seamlessly attach to your bike if it has a rear luggage rack installed.
The single-mount system sandwiches itself onto the luggage rack, and includes all necessary hardware.

Hi Epic Surf Racks, Can you please send me the link to the correct surf rack for my Suzuki DRZ400s? I would like to purchase. Thanks, Chris
This single-mount rack should work for that bike. However, our dual-mount surfboard moped rack functions the same but actually offers more versatility for mounting options. It can be found here: https://www.epicsurfracks.com/Bike/Bike-Mopeds-Motorcycle/MOPED-Surf-Dual-Mount

I want something like this to carry a tall beach chair. Once you have the mount on your seat post can you easily remove and reconnect the hooks so they are only on when needed. I don't want to have to remove the seat post connector each time.
The hooks that are used as carriers on this rack easily remove with a simple pushpin locking mechanism. So when you're ready to use the rack for storage the hooks simply slide in and lock within seconds, and just as easily removed when not in use. When the hooks are uninstalled there is very little hanging off the bike. There will be no need to install/remove the seat post connector each time.

Hi, I have a Yamaha SR 400 with a small rack on the back. There's no rack on the front. Would the dual-mount rack work on that bike? I mean, if I can't find a place to put it on the front I could just mount both bars to the rear rack, right? Or would it be better to go for the single-mount moped rack? I'll be transporting boards of 6'6" up to about 7'6" but it's possible I'll throw a 9' log on there once in a while.
Great question!
The dual-mount version of that Surfboard Moped rack should work great for that rear rack, and in most cases will work better than the single-mount version for what you're using it for, as you can spread the mount points out further across the rack.
The more you can get the mount points spread out the more stable the transported board will be. This is especially true for that 7'6" and more so for the 9' log. The front rack isn't necessarily required but is obviously a plus when transporting the bigger boards.

I have a 2005 Honda shadow will this work?
This Surfboard Moped Rack should work on that bike as long as you have a luggage rack to mount it too. It's a flat-plate clamping system so mounting to a luggage rack is a breeze, and takes only minutes.

Will the moped rack hold a 9'2" longboard?
This moped rack is meant to hold boards up to 10' but since you're putting it on a motorized scooter I personally don't recommend it. If you really want the safest option availble it would be the SUP & Surfboard Moped Rack here: https://www.epicsurfracks.com/Racks/Surf-racks-bikes-mopeds/SUP-MOPED-RACK
This rack is designed with 2 separate anchor points which provide far better structural integrity in terms of mounting a longer board to the bike. When going down the street the single anchor point type (the one you're questioning) may have a tendency for the board to sway, especially in windy situations. That's why I don't personally recommend it for longboards. From my personal experience and the experience of our customers the dual anchor point system is the way to go with a longer board on a motorized bike! However, it's your call and if you're just going down the street and maybe keeping it at a very slow speed you'll probably be fine. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hi All. How thick of a surfboard can this fit? Product code BR3. Thanks!
This Surfboard Moped Rack (BR3) can accommodate boards up to 3.5" in thickness (at the tightest point of the 'u-shaped' bars.)
If you're looking to hold larger boards (i.e. Stand Up Paddle Boards) or surf boards that are thicker we have a SUP Moped Rack that can be found here: SUP Moped Rack - For Stand Up Paddle Boards & Surfboards
This rack has attachments for both SUP boards as well as a separate attachment for Surfboards, or similarly sized equipment What's great about this rack is that it has attachments for use with a custom bungie, to better accommodate your personal setup.
Feel free to reach us directly if you have any other questions! 888-964-6646 or info@epicsurfracks.com

For a current model Ducati Hypermotard SP do I need to first purchase the Ducati rear luggage rack? Thanks, James
This rack has a universal mounting sytems which is two plates that essentially sandwhich together. This particular bike looks like it has a black fender which hangs out the back of the bike, and also functions as a light/signal mount. This will not be suitable to mount the surf rack. I would suggest getting the luggage rack for your bike.
