Custom Rack made from ace hardware supplies

You can download a pdf here containing dimensions, photos, materials list, and construction notes. I hope it is a good reference for you all. Thanks.

Thanks

Hey, Thanks for sharing! Great instructions - Looks like I have a sweet little project to take on this weekend. Good job!
 
Revisions

One typo I found. The rack adjusts forward and back in 2" increments not 1". The cross pieces are 14 3/4" on mine. This should give you an idea of how much tubing you will need depending on how many cross pieces you want.

Just weighed the rack with all attaching hardware: 2 lbs 9.4 oz This should give you a good idea on what yours will weight depending on how long you make it. Mine is 40" total length.

Thanks again for all the input. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Rack Rubber

I added some strips of 1/8" corrugated black rubber. The strips are a little under 3" wide. (the width of a can of spray paint - for the end radius) I roughed up the tunnel with a coarse sanding wheel in my die grinder. Cleaned everything with brake cleaner. Glued it to the tunnel using high temp black RTV silicone.

Craig,

Nice job! but curiosity is killing me. What is that thing behind your sled in that last picture? looks like a jig for something. If it's a private deal, thats cool.

okay rack looks good but I must ask what did you do to your running boards?

Cut in between the holes. Still very rigid. I have some better boards on the way though. I HATE snow on the running boards. If I ever had a pet pieve that would be it.

I am finally all done with the rack setup. I have two 2 gal fuel cans and a cargo net to stuff bags and gear when needed behind the fuel cans or under the seat. See there was a reason I made it song long! Long trips in Alaska.
