Used over 230 feet of wire and equally as much braided wire wrap to clean it up and tie everything together neatly. Used a wire channel piece up front on the driver side A-pillar (very low key and not very noticeable) to run my wires into the bay and into my switch pros (first picture) The rack...
initially I was going to run it back between the hatch, under to the frame rails and back into my switch pros, but that seemed like too much wiring. I have something I want to try out and will post it up soon!
A quick bike rack build that mounts to a part of the fork, and under the top tube. Super light weight at about 8 lbs. takes about 40 seconds to strap it in, and about 20 seconds to remove it
I actually heat treated the bolts with a blow torch to give it that "burnt" look. It'll be more scratch resistant than paint. If I were you I would remove them, rubberize coat the bolt heads, then reinstall with a 6 point socket to minimize abrasion when reinstalling the bolts. good luck!
