I flipped my sportsman400 this past eekend and crushed the rear rack I already bought the rack supports. I was going to buy the composite rack but can't find one cheap enough I have read wear some of you have made your own.
I have some 3/16" aluminum tread plate I was going to piece my rack together and trace it out on the tread plate cut it out and use that as my rack do you people think that it would be safe and also work.
Thanks in advance,
Victor

 

it will strong enough for sure. be great to drill holes where you want to mount anything. only down fall i see is if you put any plastic such as a gas can onit it will rub on the alum and wear faster. post a pic when your thru .

 

I think Sportsman70003 did that to his rear rack, looks tough.

There are quite a few rear racks up for bid on ebay.

 

Ebay is were I got the braces from as for the rack they usally start out low and buy the time the auction ends you add shipping it's pretty close to as much as if I went the dealer to buy one new. Thanks for the input when I finish it i'll post some pics

Get a 350l,400l,425 magnum rear rack and put it on there.
