Luggage Racks Anyone?

@SlingLow, such a nice job! If only I hadn't already gone a different route. I got a set of t bags for the hoops. I paid up for the set up I have, when any bag would work on your set up. Well designed, and well thought thru. I applaud your efforts!
Thank you sir but I must deflect the praise. @FunCycle came up with the original design, dimensions and mounting system - very efficient and one guy can install and uninstall them in less than 5 minutes apiece. I handed those racks to Shawn and Terry and what you see is what they brought back to me. I'm as impressed with them as anyone else. They hit a homerun in my opinion and I had no suggestions for improvement - extremely rare for me. Terry did the cutting, Shawn did the welding, Ray's crew did the powder coating and I wrote the checks. As I like to say, do what you do best!
I do have mixed feelings about producing more since, as I told Shawn, now I'm not running with the cool kids - I am the cool kid! In the Land of Mods I've got a one-off that no one else has. For a week or two...
BTW you can always sell your gear to the next guy and grab a pair of these. Just sayin'

I have had 3 people in the past few weeks wanting me to make some more of my luggage racks. Good Luck

@Miller Time hear ya go! This one had the vapor recovery BS on it. I think there'd be a little more clearance without it.

Good pictures there @SlingLow with that nozzle I for sure would not make the rack any deeper. The other nozzle will just about get you to the full 9-o-clock position

Thx for the photos. I am going to have to get gas myself and see if the wing will be in the way. Maybe I can go under the wing.

^^^ This should work...

Hey @KayTwo... is it just me, or is this one step closer to being able to strap the kids' car seats to the roll hoops????
I feel that's why people get a two seater in the first place. To get away from the kids and life in general even if it is only for a short time.RNJ12

@sideseatdriver
The rack I have are large enough and strong enough to do that....
Alpha racks from Slingmods.com one day I will
put a little one up there and take some pics...
Drive side to add fuel you need to take the bag
off --- there is a hole in the rack for filling.
They detach very easy and can be left at home.
I do like @SlingLow rack...you can probably put the
'cockpit' cover on with his...can not with Alpha. -

Oh, absolutely. The strapping the car seats in has been an ongoing (bad) joke for me.

I don't have kids but maybe I could "babysit" do some testing for this purpose.RNJ12

You got it, bub. They'll be on your doorstep in the AM.

I'm sorry no one can come to the door at this time. Please leave your name, number, and an adress where I can pick them up later.RNJ12

Look, I don't want to put a damper on your enthusiasm but 3 children have been lost during testing. It appears this may not be a viable option for munchkin transportation. You should probably be looking at the 4-seater.
The question I have for you this morning is how many would actually like to own a pair of these racks. I will need to make a financial commitment to get the next 5 sets made and I'd like to have 3 of them spoken for. $265 powder coated and shipped or $240 not painted and shipped for you to take to your painter for that custom color. Hardware included.
I have two interested if you're still in @CDCAMEL6 and @stokescr. Anyone else? Anyone?
I am still in!!!
