Since Indy is in less than a week, and my wife is going...i needed something to put a bag on. Since i am too cheap, or too creative to go buy the honda deluxe luggage rack...i made on up today....seems to be pretty strong and i am coating it this evening with truck bed liner to keep it durable. though i would share....the pics are with the backrest off...just because it was easier to take it on and for fitment. here she is....i will post some pics when it is done too.
You know the best part is that you made it yourself and it looks really good.
Keep making things.
I painted mine with ordinary cheap can of $1.00 paint and it makes it easy to just touch it up. I'm taking mine off to do a little body putty work on mine over the winter so the paint job will look better.
If I could do that, I wouldn't buy anything for my bike! It looks just like the ones you see on Ebay and every other place wanting $50-$100 for the simplest of accessories. Great job!!!
i had about 15 dollars in metal in that thing and maybe abother 8 in paint or so. just took lots of time to get my angles right before i started the spot weld process. it has a few flaws but i did not think that it was too bad for a first attempt at it.
erica would not ride for the longest time. this trip to indy is going to be her longest trip...so i am a little worried...but i guess that we will see how it goes.
