VERY NICE MIKE!! That fits just perfect in between the fenders. I like the Top rail on it that helps in keeping things on it. Just get some bongie cords and you will be all set to haul a Keg Of Beer on your outings  Lefty |

Looking for some nice amber LEDs to go under the big tail lights to hide the brackets than move plates to rear bottom of rack than off I am with ice chest and fishing rods off the side of the rack to my fishing holes and the beach. Amber for the turn signals when carring a load. Anotgh thing is the rack settles the rear deck down, less viberations.....Lee!!! EXCELLENT IDEA.....

Where did you get the rack? It looks great. How much weight will it hold? Will the fiberglss on the trike crack? Sure it will be a handy device.

You can buy the rack at any ATV shop it cost $45 and the shop charged $80 to mount and I can stand up on it at 225 lbs.....The rack is steel so is abot 12 lbs. The mounts are angled to the curve of the washers were bolted down. Because of the rack the whole bac deck and fenders viberate less.....

Yes is big difference...Going to pull mine and paint the rack as have not yet, also going to do more glass work on the underside and around the fenders befor the trip. Installing amber blinkers were you see the brackets that hold the tail lights. the plug for gps or air or what ever will be mounted on the black were the plates are now and the plates on mine will be monted below the rack on the rear with a strip light. I run with the GPS on it's battery than when I stop I plug it in and place under the seat till I go again it runs almost 4 hours onit's battery.

Ah I just want to look at the two ideas of construction. It looks like your welder used the same idea I did for two of the brackets. My rear brackets are a lot different than yours. I've thought about chroming mine but I don't want to spring the money lose.

Mike - First I really like the rack - neat and looks functional. Just a question: If you put anything on it will it cover the license plate? Would that be legal? Again - I like the rack - just a question.

The plates are being moved and placed under the rack with light. The turn signals on the trike are being shut off and run on the finders. I can stand up on the rack and I have used it several times but the locals told me to move the plates as I hadgone for prophane and the tank blocked the plates.....no ticket just said it was cool but move the plates.
