Ha ha I did that when you first posted, looks like its bolted to the swinging arm I thought, can't be, blew up the image and could just make out the bracket.

Sorry for the small photos. I can't seem to figure out how to post larger without the error of "post too large."

[bemusedinsojo]

...or just use your facebook acct to host pictures.

Nice. If I can offer a bit of advice from my own experience of going down this road, the flat bars on the top will vibrate and might even crack the welds to the tube, I'd replace them with light gauge tube.

with Ssevy, the Mosko Moto stuff is great.

Good luck with the project, always good to see a different take on a need.

Sometimes even the original rack tubing isn't enough. Go as strong as you can engineer. I'm just lucky I had 4 BMW packing straps with me.

I'm also using homemade (on the bike for 12 years now) but from thick wall 5/8 hydraulic tubing. 4 mounting points each side has kept the hard boxes from collapsing into the bike or getting torn off. This is a loooong time ago when they were new. Still straight (again) & strong.

Thought I should follow this up with pics of the finished racks and some Wolfman bags I picked up cheap from the ADV flea market.

Nice, neat job. Well done. And Wolfman make good bags, too.
