I almost did that, even putting stickers on my window. So I got a class 1 hidden hitch - works fine for my swagman bike rack (so easy to load, can mount the rack and bike in 3 or 4 mins)

Materials were only $45, once all the fitting is done, it's simple. It's more the challenge of making something custom that I enjoy.



I can bring them to the meet next Thursday if you like.

Ok, see you there. Ill be in a tdi golf, navy blue.

I bet if you fabbed up some more of those you could sell them for a pretty penny.

I had to fix a bike back when I was working at bow cycle that northland volkswagen took off the top of a customers jetta.

Hitch looks amazing though, I bet if you fabbed up some more of those you could sell them for a pretty penny.

Do you have the mounting hardware still for the bike rack?

i did that exact same thing pulling into the car wash about 2 months ago. totally forgot my bike was on the roof, smash, bike falls off bouncing across the carwash floor. so embarrassing haha. didnt do any damage though. minor scratch from my bar end hitting my rear window and thats it. new hitch looks good though!!

Nice looking hitch, I specifically like the Paint Job, and the very thorough wash job performed with the rear cover off. I must admit I was concerned about what the fit would look like with the valance cut open, I suppose I should have known better with your history of quality fabrication and fitments....

Love it. I hope you get lots of use out of it, and if you ever decide to tow anything, I have a small fleet of trailers you can test out the capacity!

PS, Thanks for the BLL, I finished the last one off at 4:36 on Saturday Morning.

Too bad you didn't post then it happened. Could have sold you the rear glass out of my parts car.

Re: Bike + Roof Rack + Garage = Ouch

CRAP!!! Really nice fab work though!!! Do you have the mounting hardware still for the bike rack? I lost a couple of the slide bolts for the base rack.

Re: Bike + Roof Rack + Garage = Ouch

I will add another ouch to that list. Nice work on the welding though.
