I do not like to waste anything. I am a scavenger by heart, i will collect any metal I can get my hands on, regardless of size. A couple of years ago a fellow had a wreck in front of the house. Lost a lot of metal. He said I could have it all. I got 4 pieces of 4x6 1/4 inch thick 10 feet long angle steel.
Any how, I needed a luggage rack but really did not want to put one on the trunk. I got a packitrack platform, you will see in a few.
Made my own rack.
finished
Had some 1 inch square 1/4 inch square tubing. Added my special lock I do on all my trailers and hitches. You do not have any movement with this bolt.
I used a a chain with a work load of 1,000 lbs. Made a slot in them for the strap to fit inside the chin link.
This works great. This is the second one I made. I have never encountered any problems.
I know the welds do not look good but it is caused by the black paint and lighting I guess. I am a certified welder. They really look good before I painted them.
What you think. Investment is around $30 total. I got the rack at a swap meet for $20, metal was free and 1 foot of chain was around $4 The rest was made from scraps.
This will work on any trike with a horizontal trailer hitch.
The tag can still be seen in a car/truck. It is kinda hidden from the floor where I took the photos.
