2nd Awl_TEQ the best made.

But the SWB question from @daniel.watters may put a kink in the @Awl_TEQ rack application. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a headache rack with a SWB bed, just some pseudo-rack thingys like this -

I’d love to be proved wrong.

 

[daniel.watters]

Yeah, I was basically saying I’ve never seen one on a swb. You probably could alter Awltech’s to work though.

Not mine but I'm liking it. Already got a bumper coming and would be perfect for top off. Was in an update from way back ROTM
Second pic is what I'm working with and I got on the list for next batch.

It works, this is Kevin’s repro, bolted right up!( Troopy has the same dimensions) Nice shorty!

 

[love2fly]

It is "what the headache rack will mount on" the problem? I bet that an adapter plate can be made or even possibly Awl_TEQ can even design an new bolt on rack for the SWB types.....give him a PM. That's is whitey45
Cheers

Proved wrong! Perfect!

@todt nice rig. Are those 15” or 16” Yokohama’s? Can’t tell from pic.
