KW,

I saw your luggage rack some months ago, well now a friend of mine's father has a nice shop and I'd like to know the general dimensions and layout of your design. I'm thinking of trying something similar. I'm also curious, did you drill into the sissy bar? It looks like you may have.

Any help would be appreciated.

First the rack is clamped to the sissy bar. I took a piece of scrap SST bar about 3/4" x7"x2" Cut 2 angled slots that more or less matched the sissy bar and drilled and 6 1/4 -20 taped holes then drilled 6 holes in a piece of SST 1/4" x7"x2" for the clamp and 2 5/16-18 taped holes on the end for positioning the rack and 2 extra 5/16-18 taped holes on the top if I needed to ad anything. I used 2pcs of SST bar 1 3/4"x .25"x 8" for the sides. and used 3/16"x 1/2"x 8" SST for the cross members. When I got the position right I took it off the rack and got it welded. I slotted the cross members and the side rails for fitting . And all Stainless Steel hardware.

The angles of the luggage rack bars make it nice to keep the rack from slipping down!! Grin

I am a toolmaker and at work I can sometimes make things on lunch and while things are slow and a machine is opened! Cheesy

I have thought about Highway bars but one project at a time, I look at other ideas before I make things.

KW, any way you could expand on Ed L.'s awesome FC design and make forward controls that use an additional forward supporting threaded rod that doubles as highway peg mounts?

I'm pretty sure the red LS650 in the "My chopper from Bulgaria" had some very similar in design. I just checked but the pic links are broken. Anyhow, I've seen them before.
