Is this too big ?

`cause I can cut it down but need to do promptly, what with the Yorks fast approaching.

Chris, is that a new rack?
How does it bolt on?
Ideally it looks like it needs shortening, if that can be done neatly then it could be the answer for a lot of people me included.

Looks like a chromed pallet :shock:

I'd leave it as it is Chris...... load it to the rafters & you may be able to do your first ever wheelie :wink:

All that bulky steel is cool... will compliment your centre stand a treat :lol:

Might need a red flag tying to it :lol:

As said, for how long it's going to be on.............

As long as it'll take a tent, chairs, sleeping bags, mattress, and extra duvet (may be cold!!) case of red wine , case of white wine, slab of beer, make up bag, three changes of clothes it'll be fine :D

P.S. don't forget your stuff as well :lol:

Don`t care about the stick.

Problem is racks for A1`s are rarer than frosted indicator lenses.

Bunnys suggestion is the same model as the one I got here where A series means mark 2 or E1 shaftie. They`re a lot longer it seems.

Reckon I might just live with it and carry a spare centre stand as well :oops:
