Luggage Racks Anyone?

  • And just why are they not forum members?

    Because somewhere, someone told them that our forum was made up of a bunch of fuddy-duddies with flip phones who don't believe in FB, and as much as I tried to convince them that we also have cool people and hot girls (and cookies!), they were disinclined to acquiesce to my requests to join.

  • @philip_mustang I was just thinking about this. What if you inserted the bolts from the back of the hoops, through the rack mounting bracket, then through the hoop, then through the rack's loose mounting bracket on the front of the hoop and tighten that down with a lock washer and nut, just like you would normally mount them but use a longer bolt that would then extend beyond the front of the hoop and through the windscreen with a 2nd nut that would fasten the windscreen in place on the front of the hoop? I could draw a diagram to clarify if I had mad computer skills to post it up.

    @SSREAPER, this was my thought on mounting both the racks and the wind restrictor. You would likely need to drill a hole in each lower corner of the windscreen to align with one of the rack mounting bracket holes. I do not know if that is possible without cracking the WR.

    Remember folks - this isn't a rehearsal, this is The Show!8)

    I might not know what I am talking about, but you might need spacers to make everything to work. My 2 cents

    OK well I dont mind being the Guinea Pig to test this all out.... Hell I'm Italian and been called a "Guinea" a few times...LOL


    @SlingLow would it be possible that you could send me just the loose back bracket piece so I can see if everything matches up or what would be needed to make it all work. If I can figure it out Id buy the racks from you and you would just have to send 3 back instead of four. If it wouldn't work then I could just send it back to you. How does that sound? Hell you could send an unfinished one it doesn't matter.


    Im sure this is going to come up again and again so we might as well figure it out.

  • Your wife's gonna be upset if you didn't ask her permission to send your pair... Just saying... :whistling:

    Not THE pair. An extra pair. And I have another pair after that. I'm prepared.


    Be prepared, that's the Boy Scout marching song
    Be prepared, as through life we march along
    Be prepared to hole your liquor pretty well
    Don't write naughty words on walls if you can't spell
    Be prepared, to hide that pack of cigarettes
    Don't make book, if you cannot cover bets
    Keep those reefers hidden where you're sure they'll not be found
    And be careful not to smoke them when the Scoutmaster's around
    For he only will insist that they be shared! Be prepared
    Be prepared, that's the Boy Scout's solemn creed
    Be prepared, and be clean in word and deed
    Don't solicit for your sister that's not nice
    Unless you get a good percentage of her price
    Be prepared, and be careful not to do
    Your good deeds, when you're no one watching you
    If you're looking for adventure of a new and different kind
    And you come across a Girl Scout who is similarly inclined
    Don't be nervous, don't be flustered, don't be scared
    Be prepared!

  • Well, let's see... If it's wife and daughters and dog, yeah 5 is tough...
    If it's 5 girlfriends and everybody's cool... Well... You da man! :thumbup:

    5 Girlfriends....yeahhhhhh NO!


    Wife, 2 daughters, mother in law and my wife's Aunt....that makes 5 without the dog!


    I will say though that my wife is the best there can be. No matter what stupid crap I come up with she supports it...until i hurt myself then she laughs her @ss off :/
