X-Pect gas can carrier mount

From the day the Team started on the tail rack they knew there was another piece to go with it. Off and on over the months they worked on a gas tank carrier that will mount to the rack. Some final bolt pieces were ordered and it was assembled right before a trip. There was a locking cap piece left over from another carrier as a starting point. This project was one of the trickier ones to get right as it is not easy to bolt anything to the tail rack as it sits low on the bike. It had to be removable and strong. Several designs were tried until they hit upon the final work up and if I do say so, they got it “right”. It might just be easier to buy a store-bought carrier lock and go from there, but that would be way to easy!
