Is that rack easy disconnected to be removed?? I can't say that I would think people would want that large of a rack sitting on the bike at all times. IMO!

Hi - Yes the rack can be removed in less than 5 mins, 4 bolts through saddle bags. that's the advantage of this rack.

How many hamburgers will it hold at a time?  Of course I'm only kidding you but yes.....its a pretty big one. I have to admit I can appreciate anyone who can work with metal and have it turn out that well. You should see the results of my welding.

very nice looking but I'm feel the same, pretty big. I use the Yamaha rack attached to the sissy bar. I didn't like how high it sits so I figured out how to cut it down and drop it closer to the fender. It comes off with the sissy bar in just a few minutes and a few more to put the 'eyebrows" back on. I can see having one that size with the bag on, you are already that wide so it wouldn't make any difference.
I too am in awe of the metalworking, looks nice. My welding looks like it was done by winos under a bridge.

I have to agree with the other guys here. Your craftsmanship seems remarkable and the quality is great. It is however, a bit too big for my taste. With my saddlebags off it would like a spare seat. My mother-in-law would be asking to come along and ride on the "back seat".
Your Star design on the sidearms is good and if the rack was the width of the backrest I'd be with you 100%.

Hi Guys Thanks for your comments - Yes it is on the LARGE size but just remember, that this rack would not be on your ride for all time - just when you need it. Go on a trip when your get there just take it off and leave it where ever, put it back on for the trip home.
It takes as I said before just 1 allen key to remove the 4 bolts through the saddle bags, less than 3mins.
