Well I thought about getting a Canoe rack for the 450 .But looked at some of the universal ones for sale and seem that they all attach to the tube style racks...

I am now in the process of making one (in my head right now..LOL) and want to use the back hitch for the rear mount,stright up (tube steel) and thinking about the front rack............I thinking about the plastic rack..........So what will the best way to mount on these Plastic racks?...Thanks.......Caper.........Anyone with pics would be great..Homemade or store bought......Caper.........

 

hey caper, check out montana jacks, they used to make them.

 

O.K I will ..........Thanks..........I still might make mine own so any ideas would be great!!........Caper.......

 

Can I call you Captain Canoe Head when you get it installed?? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Caper if you hear of anyone with a canoe for free let me know!!! I'm in the market for a free/cheap one

 

I am in the market for a fishing boat/trailer/motor package......14-16 foot ........Caper.......
The rack is for some remote spots I seem last year up near Elliot Lake while riding..........I said to myself only if I had the Canoe with me!!...LOL.......The rack will need to come off....... can't be looking like that all the time!!...LOL....

 

Hey Caper, I would try having something fabbed to come off the top of your winch housing where the two bolts are for the vertical rollers. I picture a V shaped piece of metal that would widen as it goes up with a cross piece of either metal or wood. The idea with the hitch should work too. Cool idea. I noticed the same thing about canoe racks that are out on the market being only for metal tube-style racks. For people with an X2 you could probably work off of the rear box as it holds 400 lbs.

 

I will see what I come up with later on this spring!!...Caper..........

 

By all means post a pic with the canoe on the rack and you on the bike. This I gotta see.

PS you might want to mount a cheap laser pointer on the canoe so you can spot low hanging tree branches before you crash into them.

 

Caper...
Here ya go...I'd laugh my azz off if I saw this coming down the trail...
