Luggage rack for a DT400 C was created by Andy_C

I was looking around for a rack for my DT400 C, but if you can find one they are invariably very expensive and very rough.So I decided to make my own - it's just a small one, but large enough for my needs.12mm diameter mild steel, bent and welded, and then powder coated gloss black - just one small blemish as you can see from one of the pics, that will get filled and painted.

Damn it - cant upload the pics, grrrrrrrrr.

Great job, Andy.

I like to have my racks at the same level as the end of the seat, so that I can carry something larger (typically a sports bag) over the seat and rack. However, this is NOT, repeat, NOT a criticism!!

Gr8uncleal - no problem, but is a fair point about the height.

Sadly I wont be making any more, this one was actually fabricated from scraps of tube I had lying around the workshop, which were already bent to more or less the right size, so all I had to do was cut / weld to fit.
