@dogfishlake I have sent you a pm, kindly check your inbox. I tried ordering from your site but Paypal gives an error probably because my billing address is outside the US. I'd love to have this awesome rack on my HDJ80!

Rack ordered this morning for my 97. I'm going to look like a rockstar when I drive to the local Starbucks.
Sorry Mr Lahey. What I meant to say is that the rack will make me look rugged and help me compensate.
@dogfishlake I have sent you a pm. Thanks.
Money well spent.
Great rack, simple design, well thought out. As mentioned by others, the latches are particularly well designed.
No wind noise at all!
If mounting a tent: figure out exactly where you want the tent to sit on the rack then attach the purlins(crossbeams?) to the tent on the ground. Installing or adjusting the tent once the purlins are attached to the rack and the rack is mounted on the truck is difficult as there is very little room for your hands!!!
Thank you Patrick for making an excellent product.

Bought some slightly shorter crossbars and put plastic caps on them so they slide in to the rack smoother.

Good idea, clx16! Please post more pictures of this mounted on your truck. Where did you purchase the parts?

Mounting tent on truck is simple with the optional tent mounts. They mount to the cross bars and have a mounting hole next to the bar which allows for easy installation.
Tnutz is way cheaper and great customer service

There are a few companies that make industrial erector sets.
Just make sure Extruded Aluminum Profile is same for application.

Just installed mine and I have to say this is the most well thought out rack I have ever used. It honestly puts the major rack manufacturers to shame. Everything fit well, the finish is excellent, and the instructions were easy to follow. The rack came packaged well with no damage and everything was labeled. Money well spent!

THAT^^^ is why I do this!
Bad business? Maybe, but I absolutely love this community and I HATE (using all caps here) the term "it's just business "
Thank you!
