Default Pak Turn Around

I agree that things would be easier with the pak turned around, but with the limited length of the shelf brackets, that was not possible; the pak hit the wall. That was my intention and my first try.... bummer... Now I have to put the pak on the floor and turn it around before I put it on my bike.

Everything is NOT perfect with this set-up, but pretty close. But.. since I was putting up the rubbermaid rack anways, this works for me and didn't cost much additional to build.

Looks good. I was at Lowe's today trying to figure out how to do something on the cheap.

Here's what I did to hold all the detachables I have and it was all bought at Lowes.

One threaded bolt is covered with thin aluminum tude and the other is covered with a Hot Water pipe tube.
I just took my rack in and keep trying stuff until I found what would work.

that looks good too. I'm getting a brainstorm. Oh, it hurts to think too much.

Thanks for the idea. I may have to steal it

If I did it again I would use a "solid angle iron" (and drill my own holes) and not the "speed rack angle iron".
The holes weren't perfect for the "Tour Pak/Luggae rack" part. It works, but isn't perfect.

It was perfect for the my 08 setup, but not the 09. The Sissy Bar part is perfect.
