The 1 minute cycle rack nearly there

[Top Gear TVR]

There's a tweak to the rear exhaust mounting arrangement and a bend to put in the cycle rack and then I believe we have it;

The one minute fit, one minute remove cycle rack.... Monday night it is then

Here's a picture of the mount itself.

Its made from a piece of unequal angle, two sizes of box section, uses a US style Square Hollow Box Section (1 1/4") mount and just pushes onto the chassis under the diff mount and bolts onto the rear body mounting holes behind the tank frame.

Getting the dimension right was a pain, as was levelling the body to make it fit!, but nearly there now, just a bit of fettling to finish.

do you have any photos with the bike on?

This works fine Barr one thing. I found it pushes the height of my exhaust down about an inch which is not ideal. I have s plan to resolve this winter! Too much nice weather for welding!

looks good. I'm seriously thinking of something similar

[Top Gear TVR]

if doing it again i would go with a two sided fixing, one at each side of the tank support rather than central approach. this would totally avoid any exhaust issues

That looks great. Although I have an old H**fords rack that fits, it takes 10min to fit and then I cannot get into the boot without taking the bike off etc...

Have been toying with ideas to put a quick fit tow ball along similar lines (total loaded trailer weight <200kgs) bolting around the diff box section but unsure if loading will be too excessive. Anyone have any thoughts?

Efforts still diverted to getting the car running though!

I would be concerned about strength...

Very nice, though you may have trouble with 'the law' if you can't read the number plate or see all the lights from all angles.
