Just a tease for now.  These are pictures from the first mounting. Still needs to be fully welded and finished.    More to come.

Thanks! Actually it was CNC Plasma Cut, but in the future, should I consider making a couple more, It would be flow jet cut as it would be cleaner.

Thanks! I havent decided how I am going to finish it. It has a lot of nooks crannies that might not take chrome to well. I might have it powerder coated to match the New England white that is on the tank, with the rest blacked out. I just dont know yet.

Way cool. It would look very good powder coated white.

WOW!!! I am absolutely lovin it. It would look cool with the New England White, but chrome??? Wow, that would just put it over the top. Nice job man, coolest luggage rack I think I've ever seen.

NICE!! Did you cut it flat, then bend it? Or was it cut out as a bent piece already?

It was cut out flat, and then formed to match the profile of the fender. At the moment, I don't have a roll former, so I had to hand work it, it very frustrating, but eventually I got it and it turned out pretty uniform.

Thanks! Sure, I used the older logo because it gave a more rounded look to the overall.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! Absolutely love the look.  Glad you decided to go with the chrome instead of painting it white, really sets it off. One of a kind remarkable work.
