The Bike Rack …

This is my work in progress bike rack for the motorcycle.  It is in its third version at this point.

Version 1 was mounted a little low and about killed me going through a corner.  In testing it worked good, but on the road it seems that the bike squats a little when cornering.  I stuck it going through a corner at about 45 mph.  Not a lot of fun.

Version 2 was mounted higher and seemed to work pretty good for a couple of weeks.  Then I noticed that the bike was leaning away from the motorcycle.

In version 3 we beefed up the mounting points and added a third mounting point on the back bracket.  This seems to have fixed everything.  Used it for a couple of months before removing it and having it painted.  The whole unit can be removed or installed in about 30 minutes.
