Default Feeler: Custom tail rack

I do not think I will be using my KLX250SF for touring anymore.. (I have a lead on a Honda Interceptor as a second bike)
So I do not think I will need my custom built (by a professional welder) tail rack.
Seeing if anyone is interested in purchasing it.
It will come with everything necessary to bolt it right up to your '09+ KLX250S/SF.

The pictures below were taken before it was professionally powder coated..
(I had spray painted it black for the time being)







And with my touring gear attached (lol) :

Nice! I would caution you bout the sharp front edge. I think I would have rounded the corners in case you had so slide off the back in a drop. But other than that a great looking rack for that bike.

The welder mentioned that same thing to me when I wanted sharp/clean lines.
The edge is indeed rounded off.. No sharp edges anywhere on it!
Or are you referring to the squared edges?

BTW.. this is made out of aluminum so it is very light.
(Grinding off edges is not a difficult task if need be)

Yeah. As a person that has wrecked my share of motorcycles (which have sent me to the ER), I would recommend losing the square corners on the front edge. They look to me like an easy way to slice open your leg in an accident.

Maybe try marketing it as a replacement home plate in the sporting goods section on your local craigslist?
