ALTrider...what were you thinking?!?!

Well. I am an Altrider fan. Skidplate: Check....Crashbars: Check....Heelguards: one the list

BUT, ordered/installed the rear rack. 1. great quality as usual. 2. Easiest thing from Altrider to install as of yet. 3. will finally be able to fit my Givi case

HOWEVER. Why...oh WHY? did you skimp out on the "underrack" space? I understand following lines and all, but the spacers take out ~1/2 inch of the space. I was planning on placing my Slime aircompressor under there...but no go.

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

If Altrider was really smart, they'd source a bag or box (thin-walled so as to not eat up too much more space) and sell that too!

I drunk the Altrider Koolaid too - engine guards, rear rack, skid plate, and even the kick-stand foot.

Oddly enough, my old Slime compressor case fits under the rack. My new Slime compressor case does not.
The compressor and tire plug stuff fits into one of these non-waterproof, canvas bags, which fits under the rack. I got this idea from another member here. It's not the ideal solution, but it's working for now.

As a bonus, this bag fits over most cook-in-the-bag, freeze-dried backpacking meals as an insulator. Bon appetite ::003::

Any other suggestions on compressors that are not as thick as the new Slime?

Did I mention that I took the compressor out of the Slime case and put it in the Klein bag? That way it fits. We are really looking for a better container to utilize this space.
