...that I couldn't hang on the bike.
Since I haven't found a proper rack anywhere for my C5, I figured "Why not make my own out of 1/2" EMT Conduit?"
First concept was a single bar wrapped from one upper shock bolt around to the other:
and ended up with this, with some 1/2" foam tube insulation wrapped around the trailing end:
After deciding to prevent possible damage to the doghouse or mudguard, I fabricated a couple of uprights that will attach to the lateral mudguard stay, acquired a few clamps and some hardware from a local hardware store:
and contrived this:
I like the simplicity of the first version, but also like the serious stability of the second. I guess once I make up up my feeble mind I'll paint it, paint it, paint it,...paint it black.
Then get to work on an attachable luggage carrier to fit over the top of the mudguard.
Or maybe just re-make the whole thing...
