Andrew engineering supplied a rear carrier for lightweights.

I doubt it would fit. That rack attaches to the heavyweights where the handgrip on the back mudguards bolts on. The lightweights don't have such a handgrip. The rack I bought from Andrews has two forward pointing legs that fix to the shock absorber mountings and two arms that go under the seat and fix where the mudguard bolts to the end of the rear frame.

Hello spicer650, My Model 8 came with this rack fitted when I bought the bike I added the box for the longer outings not everyone's cup of tea but I quite like it. Handy for tools bits and bobs and of course the obligatory refreshments.

They've stopped making new parts but were still trading and selling off what stock they had the last time I rang them.

Hi Bert

I think Andrews have stopped manufacturing but are still trading until they run out of bits to sell. They are listing a lightweight carrier at £88.80 LW0018 Page 16 http://www.andrew-engineering.co.uk/And ... celist.pdf
May be worth calling them to see if they have any left 01942 888848.
