I made this today to add a little more cargo usability for longer trips.

started with a $12 poly cutting board from walmart:




cut 2 corners off and notched it around the tool lit:



bought some stainless screws and 4 rubberized stainless straps for mounting, $5:




Tips: cut with a slow tool speed and course blade or the heat will want to melt it back together, I used taper head screws and chamfered the mount holes for flush fit. My multiple bungee holes were 1/2", the rope is just an experiment not sure if I'll leave it, thought it might accommodate wider straps better. May cut wide slots, and lose the rope. I cut the corners off so i could still get a hand on the rack handles to lift the bike, which i can but may cut a little more later if it's problem.

 

good idea. i have the nomatic rack, and i think the design is crap. ive put as little as one tent on it and still got it into the chain while riding, maybe this would help.

 

Good idea! Plus it can double for a rear mounted cutting board on those over night stays by the camp fire.

 

awesome! and if you go fishing you can fillet some striped bass right on the back of ur bike!

 

Great idea!! That is why I love being a member of forums. Do you think I could use this in place of the little bag back there? Just mount it to the fender. Don't need to carry much back there

 

When I saw the title, $20 Rack Extension I thought it was another one of THOSE adds

Nice work.

 

:d:d:d

 

Nice job, just be warned that the rack is supposed to only have 10 lbs on it. But hey if you can't push the limit then where's the fun in that. Case in point. LOL

 

atleast youll be extra comfy once you set camp deej.
