Hyosung GV250 & GV125C Custom Rear Luggage Rack Upgrade

Finding a high-quality, durable rear luggage rack for the Hyosung GV250 Aquila or GV125C can be a challenge. While factory options are often scarce or expensive, many riders opt for a custom DIY approach to increase their bike’s carrying capacity. Whether you are planning a long-distance touring trip or just need a secure spot for your daily commute gear, a solid rack is an essential cruiser upgrade.

This tutorial demonstrates how a few well-chosen pieces of metal and standard garage tools can be used to fabricate a professional-grade luggage solution. By following this guide, you can create a custom mount that integrates perfectly with the existing lines of the GV-series frame, providing a stable platform for top boxes, tail bags, or strapped-down panniers.

Benefits of a Custom Fabricated Luggage Rack

Building your own rack allows for specific customisation that “universal” aftermarket kits often lack. You can ensure the weight distribution is centered over the rear axle and choose materials that offer the best balance between weight and structural integrity. For those who enjoy metalwork, this project is a rewarding way to improve the utility of your 125cc or 250cc Hyosung v-twin.
