Made a configurable tool rack for my BX1880

[OrangeHiC]

Hi all
I was walking around Lowes looking for something to use for mounting a small tool box to the ROPS. I found a craftsman versatack system for the garage wall. I adapted for my use. Im quite happy with it and can configure it to do several things. I didn't have to modify the tractor at all and I can remove all the attachments if I want.

Love it. That's a great idea.

There will be those that will poopoo the idea because you drilled the ROPS!!

sure those holes aren’t already there? Mine has holes pre drilled in it.

OP that’s an awesome idea!

The holes are already drilled in the ROPS. I also put tape between the bracket and ROPS to prevent scraping and dissimilar metal issues.

My ROPS also has holes in it. A bit different from his but mine is an LX. I used the ones on the left to mount a metal ammo can. Liked it so much, I already made the second bracket and have the ammo can to go on the right for my chain. The neighbor's son is the manager of the local Harley shop, and said he'd powder coat them for me. Will show the finished product when I take the time to remove the brackets and get them to him.

Way to think outside the box there! Any issues with the attachments bouncing loose or sliding while moving?
