Well I was going to buy the Happy Trail rack but my wife reminded me that I have to work on my 1968 Volvo 122S

. I like to look around and find cheap ways of doing thing. I tried to take pictures of the Happy Trail rack to a welder but it was to much work I guess. I have had the side bags for about a year and I really wanted to take a long ride here in South Korea. I'll let you guess what I found to make my rack out of....hehehe

I would like you guys to comment on what I have done so far. I kind think its to wide and long.....

Here are some pics and sorry for the bad Iphone pictures

Thanks

Chris

So what is it???

He charged me $10 and did a great job

I am thinking of cutting it off at the bottom above the curve at the cross member

Have you considered welding in another piece of the "repurposed alernate ferrous material" to tie the rear end of both sides together like the Happy Trails setup?

That's ingenius. I stare at everything I see trying to find a rack in it somehow.

Only pic I have of the HT rear bar, but it ties both sides together so they won't bend in a tipover:

The bar is to keep the sides rigid in a fallover.
