nc700 rear rack

Appears you are a natural metal fabricator.

I will confirm that with pictures when my DCT skid plate arrives in a few weeks.

Just wanted to pipe up: I'm interested. Can't wait to see some pics and hear the pricing.

+1 Can't wait to see the rack. If it could serve a useful purpose for me, you can count me in Dale.

A hinged rack, covering the fuel cap and accommodating a backrest would be my ideal, Dale

I can't wait to see pics. I'm super pumped.

almost done with new rear rack, it will take the place of the rear seat, and will hinge rear ward just like the seat did, for fuel filling. it will be powder coated textured black to match the black on the side panels, it will have slots around the outer edge to hook straps, or bungee cords.
1. how many people would be interested in the one that hinges to get to the fuel cap, and covers the cap, so that the stock cap is covered??
2. how many would be interested in one that has a hole cut in the plate so that you do not have to hinge the rack backwards??
3. the new rack will cover the honda grap rail, and taper like they do to the rear.
4. the rack will be aluminum 5052 3/16 plate, and would be very strong, but you would have to be carefull hingeing up, with a load on the rack, the rear honda hinge would not like a lot of weight on it, in the up position. not sure on price will have to finish makeing the two types,and take to powder coating for est.
i will be done in about two weeks, and one week more for coating.
will post pic when i get them back from coating.
thanks dale

first rack folding up, covering gas cap, almost finished looking for rubber to glue to front where rack goes down to seat to fill in gap, made it this way, because not everyone is using the stock seat. dale

Looks GREAT .... Will be a BIG seller I'm sure ...

Just wondering .... if you have any pictures from the side with the rack in the UP position ??

Lots of guys have the Honda or SW-Motech rear rack .... and they will want this one also .... so just want to get an idea of the clearance ???

Thanks ...

Once again, a very well done to the Honda Bike Pro!

 

[HONDABIKEPRO]

I will take a side pic tonight, i think it will clear with the honda rear rack, but not positive. dale

 

[johnakay]

looking good Dale,well thought out.
now we'll see who will cough up with the cash!

 

[Gigs]

If it fits with the honda rear rack and trunk I'm in. Price?

Now that is a very impressive bit of kit! I wonder how much weight the hinge can handle when lifted up. I have tried a 7kg load on rear seat and the hinge held that no problem

like my dct skid plates only made three, have one left, and thats the end off them, 12 hours to build, only made them because, because i said i would make some for the guys on the forum. thanks dale

Well let me say I'm sure everybody that got a DCT skid plate really appreciates you doing it Dale -- you were our only hope and you did a helluva job designing and building them. THANKS -- if you're ever in Houston you'll have a tough time trying to pay for a drink if I know you're here.

Ditto. Looks awesome! For me, access to the fuel without having to unstrap the load is a must, so a hole would be great. Also must have compatibility with the SW Motech AluRack.

Great job. Looks very useful.

If one of you guys could measure for me, the distance from the back plastic to the rack, and post some pic please? dale

Here a few pics of the SW-Motech rear rack ... Hope it helps ... let me know if you need more info ...

Thanks ..

 

[davidc83]

hey Dale, you figured a price yet? I never have a pillion rider and the rack would be better than a seat. I could be very interested.

 

[HONDABIKEPRO]

pic of rack closed, and rack open, i think it may clear?

 

[GsVs]

Here's a couple of pics - measured from the same end as your pics ...
