DIY luggagae rack - stevierst - 27-01-13
Been looking for a luggage rack to carry my rather large kit bag to work. Couldn't find one big enough, so I knocked one up from bits of box section I had lying around.
Renntec run in fear, stevies own rack has landed! Cost about a tenner too

couple of small wheels on that, it'll make a decent wheelie bar...
Re: DIY luggagae rack - stevierst - 27-01-13
It is a bit huge, but so is the kitbag I've got to carry. I was going to stand the bike up on it in the garage to save a bit of room.

I like that, definitely better than what I'd manage

Nice neat solution. :thumbup
Does the £10 include the labour?

I might be wrong but you may have trouble come MOT time , sharp edges and corners ect but looks like a great bit of work

I might also have a HUGE top box on by then! :lol :lol

I can certainly 'knock one up' if anyone has any special requirements.

I wouldn't have a clue tbh. I priced up new metal for jazz and it came to about £18. Erm 25+p&p?

Not sure tbh, you might have to look it up on one of the websites that does racks and see if the part numbers are the same. I'm fairly confident that they are the same tail unit though. Can anyone out there confirm this?
Re: DIY luggagae rack - scottsmith1972 - 04-02-13
ok bud will investigate.
Re: DIY luggagae rack - JZS 600 - 04-02-13

Maybe a short piece of box section in between the section nearest the seat would aid in protecting the paint on your bike more, tis a good looking rack tho and well priced. What about colour coding them for some extra cash ?
