I was wanting a rack for traveling and possibly mounting luggage box. There really isn't anything out for these bikes so I designed and built this.

Yeah, that's really nice!

Does your rack shake/giggle or is it firm? lol

Ventura makes a rack system for the Buell.

That's a helluva lot nicer than the Ventura tube. I wonder how much weight the cheese grater can hold, though?

Plan on offering them commercially?

Nice work.... Never knew I needed one until now! Thanks, I'll be dreaming about your rack for weeks to come!

That's a damn nice design. Any concern about weight limitation on those mounting bolts/mounting points?

a single thin steel cable attached from the center of the black top at the front and attached to the a lock assembly bolt under the seat would stiffen it up some quite a bit. just a thought

That is really sweet looking craftsmanship . . . . I'd buy that just to look at.

I can build more. I got a tour box last week I'll try to post pics with box mounted.
