[Cruzr Joe]

My new rack from Spyderpops and new bag from PitBull :thumbup::thumbup:

Hi Gene,

Re: looks very nice . . .

Mine definitely looks home-made but I am getting there. Probably only about 100 more hours to get her finished. :shocked:

I haven't gas welded in over 25 yrs; so it could look better. Sort of like riding a bicycle, takes some time to get back into the groove.

But I'm having fun making it:

I travel with what I can put in the frunk & luggage that came with my 2014RT ... if I run out of clean clothes.. I buy more and mail the soiled laundry home..
when I toured 11 western states on my GoldWing.. I had 5 packages waiting on my door step when I got home..

That would have been funny if someone thought they were valuable and stole those packages. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
