[LLCCD69]

NOT SURE THIS IS WARE IT BELONGS BUT WAS WONDERING IF ANY1 HAS MODIFIED THE LUGGAGE RACK ON THEIR VENTURE LITE SLED????????? I DID THE FOLLWING 2 MINE 2 MAKE IT A LIL MORE FUNCTIONABLE . IF U DONT MIND I WILL SHARE MY MODIFICATIONS I GOT SUM 4130 STEEL TUBING, CUT IT 2 WIDTH,ROUNDED THE ENDS WITH A 3/4 CUTT6ER N WELDED THEM CROSSWAYS ACROSS THE RACK, THEN PAINTED THEM. I THEN USED A LUGGAGE BAG THAT FITS ON THE FRONT OF AN ATV, CANT FIND THE MAKE OR NUMBER RITE NOW N USED STRAPS 2 FASTEN IT 2 RHE TACK. IT DUZNT ADD ANY WIDTH 2 THE SLED BUT U CAN SURE CARRY ALOTTA STUFF IN IT. I CARRY A SNALL TOOL BOX,TOW STRAPS,XTRA GOVES,WATER N EMERGENCY STUFF IN IT.....JUST IN CASE. RATHER HAVE 2 MUCH THAN 2 LITTLE. IF I EVER FIGURE OUT HOW 2 POST PIX...IM A COMPUTER IDIOT WOULD B MORE THAN HAPPY 2 SHARE IT WITH YA, HERES HOPIN 4 SNOW

VENTURE LITE LUGGAGE RACK MODIFICATIONS

OK GUYS N GALS WITH THE HELP OF MY DAUGHTER I CAN NOW POST SUM PIX OF WHAT I TRIED 2 DESCRIBE.
THIS IS THE RACK OFF OF THE SLED........DUHHH I WELDED 4130 STEEL CROSS MEMBERS ACROSS THE ORIGINAL RACK

THEN I SANDED IT CUZ MY WELDING LEAVES SUMTHING 2 BE DESIRED AND PRIMED THE RACK

THEN I PAINTED,WET SANDED,AND PAINTED IT AGAIN USING RUST OLEUM PAINTERS TOUCH 249128 ALUMINUM PAINT IT MATCHES THE YAMAHA SILVER REAL CLOSE.

THEN REATTACH THE RACK 2 THE SLED,PUT THE REAR SEAT ON N GRAB A BEER N CHANGE THE CD....THE HARD PART IS ALMOST OVER.

THE BAG ATTACHES 2 THE FRAME USING STRIPS N CLAMPS.....ITS KINDA HARD 2 TELL FROM THE PIX BUT U CAN STORE A TON OF STUFF IN THIS BAG......IT ALSO HAS A WEATHERPROOF COVER 4 IT 2 KEEP IT DRYER THAN USUAL. HOPE THIS CAN HELP SUM1 ELSE MAKE BETTER USE OF THE RACK.......OH YA THE TUNNEL IS ALSO STILL FUNCTIONAL 4 CARRYING SMALL GAS CANS.
