Re: DIY rear rack

To get the bends I put the aluminum bar in the vise along side a socket of whatever diameter and just bend it over by hand. Think I used a 13/16 spark plug socket. The aluminum won't take a sharp bend like steel will.

If I use any kind of a trunk it'll just be one of those Rubbermaid containers.

The fender bolts in my Chinese clone are about an inch longer than they need to be so replacement wasn't necessary.
