Nicely done. It's fun to make or modify your own parts and sometimes they even turn out like you wanted


ps
your English is as good/better than 50% of the people whose 1st language is supposed to be english! So no apologies required

Great stuff Big Jim, welcome to the forums. We all share in common the international language of motorcycles. It brings together all ages, social status, languages and locations. Way to go, that is a job well done. Only comment I would add is that you will want to wire in an easy hookup for charging the battery during the winter to avoid having to take off the rack to get the side covers off.
