Fixed Rear Deck Seat & Storage
In a previous post, I mentioned the I had an ATV Rack Bag/Seat that I had put on my TaoTao. Due to the small rack, the pack did not fit right. I had removed the rack and built a custom deck out of treated plywood. It was perfect, except that the TaoTao mounting bracket was cheaply welded and on our first trip, bent and almost broke off. I had tried shoring it up with some supports but it looked like crap.
I have now built a new mounting system out of the same Galvanized Angle Iron I used for the rear hitch. Now my Pack is mounted and is solid. I tested it by standing on my seat and falling down on the Pack Seat from a full standing position. Didn't even bend! I am confident that it will be perfect for storage and the occasional kid passenger.
Next up: Rear Wheel Spacers, LED Head Lights, LED Shift Indicator Lights are being delivered tomorrow.
