Our review of the Titan rear luggage rack for AJP PR7! One of the great things about the AJP PR7 is extra features for adventure riding. Motorbikes like the Kove 450 Rally and KTM 690 rely on their plastic fuel tanks to act as the sub-frame. Welcome to Cross Training Adventure, we are into all things dual sport and adventure on the east coast of Australia. But the PR7 has a very strong steel sub-frame which also has bolt holes for a rear rack.
There are a few rear racks available for the PR7 but I chose the Titan luggage rack as I want to keep the AJP as light as possible. It's only 800 grams but can carry up to 80kg weight. Keen on adventure riding in Australia? Check out our vids. It has holes drilled to fit RotoPax fuel containers which will come in handy. The PR7 comes with a decent 17L fuel tank but we are planning some rides where our usual 340km range won't be quite enough.
Earlier PR7s did not need any modifications to fit a rear rack. If you like dual sport riding in Australia then you might like our adventure riding vids. However, after 2025 you need to drill holes in the black plastic under the rear fender. It's quite easy. We started by drilling holes that roughly aligned with the bolt holes. Then we used a 'round file' to gently widen the holes until the alloy spacers fitted correctly.
If you get this right, you can ensure a tight fit that won't allow mud and dust in.
Another feature I liked about this rack is the gaps are wide enough for big straps. Some of the racks had quite small gaps and I would have needed a new set of narrow straps to secure luggage.
Check out our reviews of various adventure bikes and dual sport bikes. The quality appears to be great. If I encounter any issues after using the rear rack on a big trip I will put these in the pinned first comment. And remember to check out our AJP PR7 series which has plenty of handy tips about luggage, protection, oil changes, free modifications, ergonomics and engine performance.
Check out Titan's website. They have a lot of aftermarket accessories for the PR7 including an impressive looking bash plate! It extends further than all the other ones I've seen to fully protect the exhaust. Definitely worth looking at if you get into rough terrain. We have occasional detours to places like Vietnam, Cambodia, Romania and Canada. This is one of our three channels, there's also a Cross Training Trials channel, and a Cross Training Enduro channel. All three are equally dodgy. We are the 27th most watched dirt channel in Uzbekistan. We have won the polished turd award five years in a row. And we have a world record 25 class action lawsuits for inaccurate information. We think the whole motorbike scene is getting too commercial. So called dual sport riding reviews are just glossy ads nowdays. Everyone is trying to sell you stuff you don't need, convince you to buy the latest model with anodized coffee cup holders for your trips to the coffee shop. Of course if you are cashed up and into bling, go for it. All we are saying is there's also the budget option for adventure riding. And it won't hold you back. Why? We reckon it's 80% the rider and 20% the bike. So the Cross Training Adventure focus is just get out there and have fun on two wheels. Instead of obsessing over the latest blinged out Beemer, which tyres to fit or spending a fortune on your suspension or billet alloy gas cap. So most of our adventure riding vids will feature the much loved bush pig, the Suzuki DR650. And we've done a 10 part series on how to unleash the mighty beast that lurks within. What else? Cross Training Adventure actively avoids sponsorship. We like doing seriously critical reviews. Manufacturers make some really bad mistakes. and there is a lot of dodgy crap being sold out there. Instead of glowing dual sport reviews for kickbacks or free product, we will try to keep the buggers honest. So subscribe. Or don't subscribe to our Cross Training Adventure riding channel. The main thing is get out and ride while you can with dual sport riding or Adventure riding in Australia, Canada, Vietnam, Romania and beyond! So check out Cross Training Adventure.
