DIY Luggage Rack

[criminaldesign]

Heading to Cass last weekend I was reminded how much I need a luggage rack when traveling with a tent. As of yesterday, the tent sat on the tail held in place with a bungee net. The tent tends to slide and rest on the tail light, dont' need that.

Milling around in the garage, I took a triumph luggage rack and stuff laying around the garage and performed the following...

Cut excess off of rack...
