[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 123523, member: 59"] Hi Peter, I think that my D carrier is an open D twin rear frame converted to suit a C Comet. It then has a universal Craven carrier welded on. The top tubes, under the seat, may have been extended. The Craven carrier has had its front loops cut off and is welded to the sloping D rails and to the hoop behind the seat. it looks like a simple construction joining a Craven part to the Vincent frame. It is possible that the width of the carrier has been adjusted to suit the width of the sloping struts. I did fit a similar Craven carrier to a C Shadow and think that of you took a wide enough Craven carrier the front loops, missing from my welded construction, could be clamped to the seat frame sloping struts with the front rail of the load deck clamped to the hoop behind the seat. An extra support rail from pillion rest to the back of the rack would carry the bottom dzus clip. WCS did make the a version of the D shaped panniers but with a flat inside face for use on unfaired bikes. The moulds probably went with Phil's D pannier moulds to Dick. His Craven moulds and jigs went to Draganfly. [/QUOTE]
