I'll be tightening the last bolts and nuts this evening. However til then, here are pictures of the sub-frame which is the foundation of the rack.

I designed and fabricated the whole sub-frame. It's relatively light weight and super strong. All welding has very deep penetration and everything is welded throughout.

I put about 6 coats of black paint on this sub-frame to help protect from rust and help it stay nice looking for a long time. If you have any questions, just ask.




























These two pictures of me pointing show the 3/16ths inch strap steel that I welded in between the tubing. This gives a lot of structural support. There is a piece in the center of the twin tubes, and a 2" piece on each end of the twin tube configuration where the tubes meet the side rails. The ends of the center piece are not welded, as this open endedness gives stress release from any flexing. The strap on edge acts like a 'strong back'.
