    Installed yet another Hondaline accessory on the Big Red: six-pack rack

    I picked up a 6 pack rack for the Big Red the other day pretty cheap on ebay and installed it on the rear rack above the toolbox lid. Even though it's made to go on the front rack, I can't put it there since I have the winch setup on mine. I think it mounted up really well on the rear rack and looks pretty sweet too . Another plus is that with it mounted on the rear rack, it can't obstruct the headlight beam like it will when it is on the front rack with an ice chest in it. Let me know what yall think from these pics...

    Hey thanks Matt, you'll have to post some pics of your big red when you finish with it. I have a pic of the back end, had to crop it down some to fit here though..

    Dang boy, you got a cobra on that sucker. Man those things are loud! LOL. When I saw your post, I was like man he put it on the wrong rack ROFL! But yeah it looks great. I have the hondaline basket on the front of mine and thinking about removing it for a winch too.

    Yeah the cobra is a little louder than stock, but sounds cool. I have the utility pipe on mine which is a lot quieter than the megaphone one that cobra makes..

    Yeah that's what I thought too...plus like I said it can't block the headlight like it will on the front rack.

    Yeah those reflectors give it something extra...Napa auto parts has them. I know that ice chest will come in handy for when I go riding in the summer
