Final prototype. For this bike it just may well be good enough. I was planning to make one out of SS, but I painted this one up and clear coated it and it turned out very decent. It's certainly strong and the rack isn't going anywhere. It is the least "hardware store" I could come up with, even though it's 100% hardware store. The allen head 'water cage' bolts do help it look more like an OEM piece, I suppose.
