Default 15 dollar luggge rack

The girlfriend insists that she needs more room for our upcoming trip to Delmarva Bike Week. The price of the Saddleman bag I could handle. It was Harleys price for the luggage rack that led to this build. Now, keep in mind I don't plan to keep this on the bike when we're not using the bag so I'm thinking I'll just paint it black. Total cost was less than $15.00 .

Aint a thing in the world wrong with that........Painted black or chromed and it'll look as good as a factory bought item. Very nice.

Well done! Looks great, and very functional. That's what counts, and the price is right.

And it doubles as a grill when you are camping.

Looks great! The only thing I would worry about is the amount of pressure on your fender from the rack and the seat tab pressing on a quarter sizer area. I have an 09 glide with I dimple in the fender and popped paint from an oversized passenger load.
