Quite a few of those out there. Larger than OEM Honda racks. These look good. I have one.

That's the one I have. Seem to remember it costing about $75 8 years ago. Sounds like a good price.

Never see used ones for less than $75. Buy it and feel good about using it.

Hey Bigguy. Did you used to own a black and white Valk trike? I saw one at a rally in Tyler weekend before last and it had Bigguy on the back of it. The owner said he bought it I think in Greenville and it already had that on it.

Wasn't me. The 97 tourer is my first Valk. Never had a trike. Hopefully that won't be for a few years yet.

It would be nice if they showed it on a Valkyrie trunk... Fred.

Would have been glad to help out, but I think your real rack will look much better. I forgot that I actually had an additional expense. I had the legs drilled and tapped at a machine shop. (Didn't want try that myself.) I don't remember the exact price, but think it was around $5.00. I also really need to get it chromed because it's starting to show rust at the weld points. Still, for a little over ten bucks, it'll do for a while.

Jimnvalk, I'd really like to see a pic of that when it's installed. I've been looking around, and can't find anything under $100. Fred.

That's HUGE! Its the first trunk rack I've seen that would be truly usefull for long range touring. Wrap it in plastick and it's a Can-Am racing spoiler. I like. Fred.
