Homemade rear luggage rack
I could'nt find any good looking ones at reasonable prise, so I gave it a go myself. 3mm iron , longer grab rail bolts, and some paint. It was difficult though. The iron took a lot of hammering, and the measurements were a bitch , but I thing it looks ok. Your opinions?

Looks good! I take it you ride around without the adapter plate when you're not using a bag?

I don't mind the adapter plate. After 15 years of Blackbirds , Hayabusas and Tuonos, a little practicality is much appreciated...

Ha! It cost me about 9 euros. Iron piece, bolts, spray paint. The cheapest I found around here was 140 euros! Criminally expensive births enginuity...

That's really cool - I love the shape that you came up with. If I need one, i'll be copying that shape.

Nice work.
Racks and luggage are way too expensive. DIY rocks.
