I don't have acess the a stainless steel tubing bender or any bender at that. So I'm looking to purchase a Cooler/rod holder.
I have 2004 yamaha fx ho crusier. Just picked it up today

Only thing missing are rod holders, the clamp on ones work perfect.

What should I do about rod holders, is there enough room to weld some on and still fit the cooler in, or just clamp some on?

I have friends that have these and they use the rod holders from West Marine.

I have someone built this one:

I spoke to the person that makes those, unfortunately for what I wanted it was almost $400 before shipping. It's a very nice piece but I am still on the hunt.

That is a nice rack but trying to spend alittle under that. I want to stay around the 200 mark.
Think I'll try the west marine holders, I like that thnks y'all.

Anything thing else that y'all know throw it on here. I like options.

Any feed back for those. I getting on of the two and kind wanted some thoughts? (tired of making new threads)

i think you can get a rack similar to mine for $180 shipped (pwccooler.com). it's very simple and you do need to work on it a bit to get it ready (ie: rod holders). keep in mind you'll need to buy rod holders.

That hands down is the best deal out there.

a friend of mine had one of these from back in the days and it's cracked within a few trips. but he rides like a demon and rough rides make him happy. i guess it depends on your riding.. if you're the speedy type, this is not going to hold up.
