[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 150533, member: 161"] No rack on my Rapide, I use throw-over panniers and a tank bag. I have no connection with Draganfly / Craven but perhaps we should commend them for even thinking about producing something that will realistically be for a very small market and ease of manufacture may have been a factor. I think this may be an initial mock-up as there does not look as if there is anything on the left-hand side of the bike in the photograph. Testing of a finished item will prove whether it is adequate or not. I would have thought that a tube, in tension, on either side would introduce some triangulation. A curve to allow removal of the tool tray would also be needed or a straight tube fixed lower down at the rack down tube. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1642574473764.jpeg"]46725[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
