Luggage Rack - Page 7

My luggage rack is my pillion seat, with the cover and foam removed. I bolted a square of 1/4" plywood onto it and painted it black. I use a cargo net bungie to hold stuff on it. Works good.

Hey, that's not a bad idea.

What do you have on the leading edge of your front fender there, Mt. Softie?

His bike obviously WANTS to be black but can't quite make it !! :crackup

(I like the red ones, actually.)

Yes The Blackness is encroaching. The front fender had a bad scrape on the tip so I sanded it down and painted it black. Didn't have red paint. I like how it looks.

Using the pillion seat for a rack is a cheap solution that I can take off easily when I don't need it. It is actually quite sturdy. I am thinking of getting a Bestem T-Box or equivalent like Water Warrior and happyhobo have so I can lock stuff up on the bike.

Just a thought. A piece of HDPE cutting board might work a little better than plywood. Its very strong and certainly water proof. I don't know if you could paint it. I don't know if it is printable.

I read the post on this board often. I don't post often because, alot of the posts turn into a fight. I have to admit the S40 board is nicer and I don't even have a S40. I think people get scared away on this board... So Sad...

There are probably a few riders who have been put off this forum with some of the more caustic moments we have had. That being said, I lurk on a lot of forums and this is one of the finer forums on the net. Overall less profanity, not too many p---ing contests and one upmanship kind of things. Just take us with a grain of salt and enjoy the different personalities riding the famous GZ. Where would we be without this one and only GZ forum.

There hasn't been a real "fight" on here for a LONG time.....maybe 6 months or more.
Stop by more often.
