Default Motherwell rack is on!

Took a day off, put detachable side plates on and (yet another) Cyclevisions barebacks kit on (one I had was for non-detachable backrest).

GOT A RIDE IN TODAY, its a 10 month season in Michigan now baby!

PICS (bike is *filthy* from todays ride, bear with )

Nice license plate! You need a Jerry's kids frame for it. I like the rack too. If I didn't have saddlebags I'd consider that setup as well.

If there was a lighted one, I'd probably do it.

I've got one of those racks sittin in the garage. Takin a bunch of **** to the local swap meet this weekend to sell and that rack is part of it.

How much those things cost new? I got the one I have when I bought a box of **** on ebay a few years ago. Used it for awhile but tryin to raise $$ for a run this summer so a bunch of **** has to go.

Now I need a small roll pack to go on the back. I've looked a ton of places, no joy.

I saw this at the dealership today, its about twice as big as I want it, it looks *goofy*.

Any ideas?
