So I got a another bike rack the other week as my old Gripsport rack was getting the wiggles up and flexing a fair bit, but after around 10 years use which I actually bought secondhand so can’t really complain.
I ended up buying a Rockymounts knock off hitch mounted style but it didn’t come with any lights, after seeing what the fines are these days plus points, I
to make a light board myself and order a number plate. After looking at the price of lights at Supercheap I was having second thoughts until I saw this on Pushys for $90, by the time I get some lights, wiring, make a mounting board etc it was cheaper to buy this.

Anyway I got it delivered today ad says it will come with mounting hardware box says it doesn’t
So I crack out the measuring devices and the drill, looking at the images online it looks like it would mount hanging low which will not work with my driveway. So I drill two holes in the base of it which align with the bolts of the cross bar, I slip in some spring washers and some loctite and bolt it into place. To make it look neater I put the wiring through the other mounting bolts, so it’s not hanging down then so it doesn’t get damaged or caught on anything when it’s getting put on and off I threaded the wiring through the pivot point so I had pull the plug apart slip through put back together then cable tie into place so I don’t trip on it when moving it. The lights and mounting plate are good quality the only let down is the plus which is a cheap plastic thing so may replace it later, now just waiting on the plate to be delivered so in the meantime I put some stick on numbers from Mitre 10 to keep the PoPo off my case, still may put some bolts though it for some extra support but I will do it once the plate turns up so it’s not just supported by the base alone.
