I use an Ortleib roll bag across the seat to compliment the SW Motech legacy side bags. The roll bag is well made and waterproof but on your picture are not the indicators obscured?

 

Hi Paul

I'd certainly have to take indicators into account when building the rack. This the hepco and becker rack's solution - brings the indicators back and in so the frames aren't too wide

 

@pete.keys Hi mate, this sounds like a good idea, but please run this by the Mod/Admin team before you go into production, we need to set a Group Buy which is completely possible. I'll send you a PM.

 

Hi folks, please indicate if you would be willing to consider buying this to give @pete.keys indication if he wishes to go ahead with a Group Buy on the forum.

Just reply to this thread.

Obviously price would come into your final decision, but for now an indication of the numbers interested would help Pete gauge how much the Rack would cost to produce.

Cheers!

Dave

 

I'd like to see what the finished product looks like, i.e. whether it clears the original indicators, but would deb interested, I think...

 

This is the rack i made for my bike last winter before anybody was selling them. I had to replace blinkers with smaller narrower ones. They held up very well and saved the back half of my bike as it slid down the road on it's side for several hundred feet. It did make for a really fun touring bike, even after a few hundred miles you still want to keep going.

Looks like you've done an excellent job there - it looks sturdier than any on the market today. You've inspired me to continue :eusa_clap:
