Great rack for my use as a hybrid rack/bag setup but my only gripe (and its one that I have noticed a lot of people share) is there is no light mount option. It's a good thing I can fabricate with aluminum because that's what it's gonna take to get what I want. Will update when I actually fabricate the mount.;
