Okay ... so ... Since FBG is pretty much finished and mom is off somewhere and told me to wait til she got back, I decided to look into my trailer hitch luggage rack. it's made for a Gold Wing or at a minimum a vertical hitch config. So .. it needs to be modded to work with FBG.
This is what it should look like:
Instead of the 2 bolts, it had 2 rivets. I just ground them out and replaced them with SS 1/4" x 20 bolts and nylock nuts.
Here's the mod I did:
As you can see, I simply remove the bottom bolt and spin the bar to the horizontal hole ... voila ... a dual platform rack ... and very little time to mod.
A little sanding, a little rattle can rust oleum paint and it's good as new, but, better:
One last thing ... thought while I was playing around, I'd take a pic of the trunk sans the Cabella Bags:
Still lots of room for the bags and even a jacket or two.
