Default Storage rack for sissy bar and tour pack

Just wanted to share for anyone looking to save some space in their home or garage. I had seen something similar on here awhile back, but it didn't incorporate both the sissy bar and tour pack into one unit. And, as you can see, I went a few steps further to change the looks of it - copper against white. Planning to make one for my dad this week and go with polished aluminum and stained wood. They are pretty straight forward to make. Enjoy.

FYI: top bar is 1/2" OD , bottom 2 bars are 5/8 OD. May be different for other sissy bars/packs. Other than that, just make sure you get the spread between each one right.

That's exactly what I need. Was in the garage earlier trying to come up with an idea. You just saved me some head scratchin.

Nice setup. A buddy has something similar but more of a lattice style. He has a King and has enough room for his TP, rack, backrest detachable fairing, windshield, some hooks for his solo seats and 2-up seat, and even a rig for his hard bags when working on his bike or storing for the winter.

Seems like the simplest solution is usually the best solution. KISS. Great job and I'll be making one of these.

Great idea. What is the length of the 3 copper pieces?
Thanks
