2nd gen light rack attempt

yes, if they come out looking good then i'll add them to the list of things i sell.

although i won't have time you make any more until thanksgiving.

 

got some things done today

 

Looks pretty sweet so far

 

thanks guys, sorry the pics are crappy cuz i was in a rush. but you can see the tube clamps that i used in order to make the light bar detach from the roof quickly in case i need the clearance or something

 

Will you end up building/ planning for a fairing?

 

uhhh probably not. i'd like to, but it's not looking too good. it wouldn't really fit on the curved surface. thats why i'm making it a quick disconnect, if you're going to drive on the highway then you can just pull it off really quick. you just loosen a few allen screws and pull 2 cotter pins

 

Any updates?

 

nope, I was hoping to get it done before I left for college but it didn't pull through.

I might have to redesign the main bar, it was going to be a very tight fit with 4 solteks so i need to find a way to make it wider.

 

Matt this might help get some ideas for you

yah, i wish i had the ability to add a long bend like that. but since we just have a manual tube bender, it really just does sharp bends.....I might end up just buying one of those tho, it would be way easier than trying to cram lights onto a straight tube.

 

I like that setup. I might have to get one of those and try to build a rack for it.

 

updates?

 

Still have half built pieces laying around. I haven't spent more than a couple weeks at my parents house since last summer. I'd like to finish it, but I don't have a tube bender.

 

Iv been thinking about starting a project like this. But as usual work keeps getting in the way
