I could really do without the dead horse.

There's quite a few of them around here.  Which one in particular?

I could really do without the dead horse.

They take up a lot of room in the tent...and smell bad, too.

Same goes for live ones, too.

Difficult (but not impossible) to carry a horse on the bike live or dead.  However, if it's a talking horse then all bets are off and you'll need to fit a communicator for it.  If you run out of gas you can always ride the horse.

Great idea blanton.    Very innovative.     

Thanks Pilgrim....12"× 24" and fits a $10 walmart bag. Air matress, 5×7 tent, sleeping bag and blanket w/pillow fits inside. Bought cot tent and been off the ground ever since.....blanton

Sounding better all the time! So the mounts that go forward are just pinned with the bags? What kind of treatment do the mounts that go up under the tail get? It looks like your dimensions work  well. What are there? Thanks again.

I see the dimensions  now  

The front mounts with 1/4 20 and spacer..top mount was only place I drilled and it is hidden.

Used camping and hauling a seat across state.

With the top box and the rack loaded how much weight are you carrying behind the axle?

Heaviest carried 26 lbs..for 3 days.

Thanks

Is that a tent or a camper in the background?

blanton mentioned a cot tent a few posts back....

It is a cot tent....$80.00 by Ozark..set up is just unfold. Repacking not too bad. I still use an air matress but tolerable without. Rain fly is on and has good ventilation. Also has sky light. Nice to wake up and turn and be sitting to get ready for the day. I always wanted one but had no way to haul until the mid-rack. No more ground sleeping for this senior Wayne...blanton

Front view. Now I will stop rambling..blanton

That is pretty amazing!

I agree... impressive

Thanks....blanton
