Retro Fit Rear Rack, Suzuki M50 / M800

Here is my new winter rack made up from a scrap rack that I modified.The idea being that with using the bike as my only form of transport, this
would be easier to keep clean during winter.Still got the rad cover under construction,also to keep corrosion free during winter.

Very nice, did you add the lower arms, or were they on the original rack?

Had to add lower arms and peice in middle to attatch to rear seat.Also chopped legs down as they had brackets on.Well sorted and strong could take a third passenger if I lived abroad.!!Cheers for the comment.

Nice job Alfie Third passenger

Good one Alfie, great idea to have winter replacement parts where available.

One question. Could you describe where did you buy that taped folie under the rack and how complicated it is to tape it to bike

Thanks

Great idea to be able to replace some bits to keep your bling all blingy

this might sound silly because the stuff is sticky backed but if you spray the back of the sticker and the surface where it is being put on with a very mild fairy liquid solution and then use a plastic spatula or similar tool to squeeze the water out from under the sticker you will get no air bubbles at all.

Spot on Crash, thats how I apply all my decals/stickers.

Cheers for the tip CC,will certainly keep that to hand.
