F1/F2 Rear Carrier

(1/4) > >>

Grewth:
I need a carrier on my F1.
Hopefully next year I'll manage a few camping trips on it.
Nothing too serious.
Has anyone got one of those swing back type carriers which put the load area over the tail piece, but move backwards to allow the seat to be opened ?
I was offered one once, but I cried off at the £250 price tag.
And I didn't bother to keep the photos that the seller sent to me.
Which was pretty dumb on my part, because now I'm working in a fabrication shop again, and I could potentially build my own.
So if anyone has got one on their F1, or F2, could you please manage to post a few photos for me to work from  ?
It could potentially save me a lot of guesswork

Hi mate is this what your looking for this is on a k3

3scs:
I’ve just noticed yours is 750 so maybe not my mistake

Grewth:
Thank you very much  !
Yes, mine is the 750,  which has a large plastic tail fairing bolted to the rear of the seat pan.
But that rack would work perfectly on the 750F1.
Of course I doubt if a CB550 would fit the 750,  but the principle is right.
TBH, there's a lot of work that goes into a well crafted rear carrier, tube was often bronze welded prior to chroming, which was usually top quality triple plated.
Nevertheless,  I've spotted a couple of NOS carriers for sale in the US,  conventional type, for the 750K series, not the F1.
Price was $499 each.
Add on shipping to be UK and VAT.........
I think that I might need to dig out my TIG welder

Spitfire:
This is a photo of My CB750F1 from around 1977, that's not me on it but my mate Derek.
I cannot remember where I bought the rack but it folded after loosening or removing 2 wing nuts, and had fittings for the indicators.



And a close up


Cheers

Dennis
