My Quick 'n' Dirty Cycle Guys Rack Install

GlassAnkles · January 25th, 2012, 06:55 PM

bought an extra factory seat from the classifieds, then a cycle guys fast-rack from amazon. the velcro they provide kinda sucks so i did i quick bolt up install for it.

this could be done alot better but i don't really care....it gets the job done for me

- pull staples then the cover
- remove foam base, sand down the bumps on the plastic seat - the factory staples created them
- trim and re-install cover with spray adhesive
- re-install the grab handle
- align rack and drill some bolt holes
- mount it
- ride

What kinds of things would you be able to mount on the back with that particular rack?

i put a cheap KLR soft tail bag on it right now, but the rack is handy because i can quickly remove the bag and strap bigger UPS packages on top. i use my ninja as a delivery bike for my ebay selling
