Where is Dan? (re: Racks)
Written by mikeyb_houtex on 11/20/2009 at 02:49 am

Howdy folks!

Is it possible to get posted any sort of plans or detailed pictures for Dan
Burell's tail rack?

I've seen pictures, and granted, they're good enough to get an idea (noted
single piece of stainless each side [would regular steel, coated, work
instead?], cut, and extra struts extending out, all welded up after figuring out
the dimensions and measurements...)

It'd obviously be a whole lot simpler to deal with if it were laid out as "do
this, this and this. Voila, rack."

It's the best sounding (given the 150LB testament I've read) of all the racks
I've looked at for the PC. Seems a shame that you can't get them, even in plan
form. And I can't get a Givi SR10, they're currently made of unobtainum (and
I've heard of stress breakage), and the Reid Rack on a backrest seems... not as
strong. Unless I've not read the right messages yet...

So, plans would help. Of course, if it were any way possible to get one already
made, that would be imminently easier, naturally. Provided it's not stupidly
priced... $2000, for example, might make me wanna do it myself, ya know...
which, come to think of it, I never saw a price for the thing in the first
place, so I dunno what they're worth... if they were available, which they're
generally not, yes?

Oh, and as it appears that my search-fu is weaksauce and you guys know exactly
where to point me... (been lookin' about for a few months off and on...)

Many thanks, y'all!
