Nice job, Jmbo. Still need to remove mine, tidy it up , and send it to my buddy's place for powder-coating. Have a few other odds and ends to get done too.

Here's another shot of mine after powder coating. It slides in to the two-up seat mounts so the bags do not have to be touched to remove the rack.

;) some folks just don't like being poked fun at, me I don't care means they are not picking on someone else.......

Same here; if you dish it out, you better be able to take some yourself... worked with a guy (haven't we all) who couldn't take it but loved handing it out...guess who everybody picked on? :D

Good looking racks, gentlemen.

Jmbo, got a question:  what do you use for a form or die to bend the corners so neatly??

I just eyeball it.

Here's one I built for my 1500.

Thanks for the reply!.....I'd really like to get one that has 4 posts, or a side plate that attaches to my seat/bag supports so I don't have to attach something else to the seat. I bought mine with a solo and a rail and will probably upgrade to a Heathers Leathers or somesuch animal. I'd also like to be able to take the rack off without removing the bag supports. I like the way yours looks, tho.........and it adds to the idea pool. I'll keep looking, but I think it's Fab time!!!.............. :P

Welcome Newbie. Not long ago I was in your same situation so  decided to fire up the torch, welder, and die grinder and fab  my own.  Here are two shots of the one  built.  The one photo off the bike was a first pass.  This one mounted too low. Just be aware that the rear fender travels up and down twice as much as you think.  The second photo shown on he bike was the final.  The final one was raised 4" to clear the fender travel.  I have since gone to the single seat so I have no other photos of the rack on the bike.

Good Luck
