My Homemade Rack

Thought you might like to see the rack I made for my xtx, I utilised the grab handles. I managed to get some newer style grab handles off ebay cheap so quids in. Still got to paint it yet.

I really like that. Suits the bike perfectly and a more practical size than the Yamaha offering.

Top work! :coolsmiley:
