[bodlan]

Anyone know if someone out there is making/selling rear and side luggage racks for Vincents?
Could not see anyone advertising in MPH.

I have a Ventura rack and luggage on my Griso. Fitting required some elongation of fixing holes. There is a C Shadow and Comet in NZ with racks fitted, they look ok, but not period like Craven.

Several bikes in Australia have them fitted. Only suitable for moderate luggage unless the rack is reinforced with a small steel plate on the bend.

I think these http://www.motomachines.com/Complete-Racks_c_65.html could be adapted, like my Krauser loops were. It does need a fully sprung saddle, though, unless you design some articulation.

is this the type which gives a fully suspended seat, in other words, the rear of the seat attaches to it?

Hi Glen, yes it is/does. And ensures the seat is sprung.

It will fit both the standard dual seat and extra long one available from the VOC.
