Mosko Moto Reckless 80 (V4.0) on Husqvarna 701 Enduro - Minimalist approach
UPDATE JULY 2024 - we updated the design of our Heel guards; updated Heel guards now have unique quick-release feature on the upper slot and all inner edges are completely rounded. Everything from this blog posts relates to the new Heel guards too.

Mosko moto Reckless 80 V4.0 is a great match for Husqvarna 701 Enduro. Harness made of composite materials gives more stiffness and stability, while being lighter than previous version.
The bike is equipped with Perun moto Husqvarna 701 Luggage rack (Gen2) and Heel guards. Gen 2 of our luggage rack comes with pre-drilled holes for Mosko moto Gnoblin for seamless installation.
For minimalist setup, I use the Reckless 80 without the tail bag and removable Beaver tail. When more storage space is needed, adding a tail bag (Mosko moto Stinger 22 in this case) under the beaver tail is very easy.
Note that the tail bag will most likely interfere with rider's movements on steep downhills. For reference, the model in photo above is 186cm tall.
To install the Gnoblin, removal of the rack is needed. Gnoblin is simply bolted to the rack.
Gnoblin is installed in forwardmost position on the harness.
This position of the Gnoblin gives, in my opinion, the best placement of Reckless 80. For riders who need more seat room, it is possible to use other holes on our rack which will move the bags further back.
Legs of the harness are installed in position 4, a perfect fit for 701.
Harness of the Reckless 80 has a cutout for fuel filler cap so there's no need to remove it for refueling.
Lower straps are conveniently attached to Perun moto Heel guards.
The bags rest partially on the side plastics. Stiffness of the harness is ensuring that there's practically no chance of bags interfering with the swingarm or rear wheel. Yes, the plastics might get scratched over time, even though the bottom of the harness is covered with soft rubbery foam (note that we have left the foam uninstalled in these photos. Definitely not something we would suggest). Use of a self adhesive protection film is advised if scratches bother you. There is also a possibility that rubbery foam might get slightly damaged where it contacts hard surfaces of the bike or rack, but it shouldn't concern you - it is made for that.
Additionally, bottom of the bags isn't touching the silencer. Use of the heat shield still might be a good idea, just as an added precaution.
For riders who don't use the Gnoblin, slots on our Luggage rack provide perfect attachment points to install Reckless 80 with straps. Straps enable convenient fore-aft adjustment of the bags.
