My junk yard flip - Vaquero luggage rack
If you haven't noticed, I like to make stuff. Sometimes handy stuff, sometimes not, but this one will most definitely serve a purpose!
Last year's North Central Regional rally showed me how much I needed a luggage rack. But for just a luggage rack, Kawasaki priced me out of their solution. - When I had the fender trim off last, I went ahead and drilled the holes for the KQR docking station determined to do something soon. This was supposed to be my temporary solution while I design something amazing, and even though I still consider it temporary, it also turned out amazing. It's not officially quick-detach, but the bolt holes are slotted, so I call it RQR (Relatively Quick Release).  $20 hardware $30 junk yard luggage rack $20 steel to cut out adapter plates $65 powder coat =$135
