Picked this up at Harbor Fright. Should do the job.

Must be nice to have a straight hitch...

That is a good sized rack. I looked at them before but ended up making my own due to the fact that exhaust from the mufflers would be blasting whatever was on the rack. So ended up with raised rack to get the job done.

I was worried about the exhaust also, but I think it is far enough from them that it will be ok. Also am going to use a hard box to store everything in.

I did that same thing from harbor but found it way to wobbly to make

it work right. be safe with that thing. I now have a brand new one sitting

in my shed. maybe I can use it in y truck :-)

I am thinking of the same but much smaller.

 

I would like to do one that would hold a small cooler, for day trips and such.

Is that "spare parts" on the floor?

Don't have a trike, but this is what I did with the Rivco rack.

Had a shop bend a piece of stainless as a light mount. Bright LED trailer lights from either HF or Northern (forgot which).

 

It holds the Kuryakyn big tour bag perfect,,, seeing how the trunk luggage rack on the RSV does not. Also keeps the center-or-gravity lower than using the trunk rack.

Yes, that is about the size I am thinking.

I have a similar rack and I found that the tail end tended to drag at certain times, so I made up and welded a 6 inch offset piece onto the tongue. It's longer now, but really up in the air and out of danger.

 

By the way, where did you get that bumper. I love that!

A BUMMPER is what I REALLY want!!! - I was very surprised that the Hannigan kit doesn't offer one.

I WILL come up with something, though sadly, I doubt I will Chrome it.

All the older Motortrikes came with it.
