« on: April 26, 2010, 09:47:00 PM »
Got my rack in the mail today.Check it out.
   
With diesel prices going up this will help we get into the woods for a fraction of the cost. Hopefully latter this year Ill show you a picture with some meat on there.

I would put that in a PVC tube instead of a sock. I have done the same thing when I bought a bow at a meet or a garage sale. Whatever works!!!

Will the rear tire throw much mud/water? A more impervious material in the bow sock might help if you think it'll get wet. The fleece looks as if it is going to get pretty mudded up.
Hunting with the bow and arrow involves earning your way by making meat, getting your hands messy in the process and then recognizing your own reflection upon them.

Dude.. That's Sweet!!! Like said above.maybe some more padding and or a plastic bag inside or out of the sock to keep it dry.

Been thinking of doing the same, only on my Harley to go to 3D's. Maybe somebody's got a pic with a street bike? Thinkin' a PVC tube might be the ticket.

I like XR's. What weight limit does that rack have? I was wondering because I'm always interested in hauling meat. Gary

Must be a LEE thing (my last name)
It is a work in progress in my picture it is just fastened with wire ties I am leaning towards a leather pocket I so I can slide it in and out from the back. The rack came from cycleracks.com and he said it would hold 200 lbs.

Nice guys!

I just got back from the Whittingham shoot on my bike.  I had my td ACS stuffed in my arrow case and strapped to the back along with a host of other gotta haves.

Hey Ron W....thought I'd see you at Whittingham??? Hope you take me up on my offer, you always have a room and a hot meal in PA!  Comes with an archery range for your bow and a garage for your bike! :thumbsup:

Darren, now repeat after me... "I will not do a wheelie".  It looks like a great rack, but this has Pat McManus written all over it.  :laughing:

Joshua Lee your silverwing brings back good memories. One nice bike.
