Rear carrier for Model 18 rigid

Post by 6968barry »

Hello everyone, first time I've posted here....
Does anyone know where can I get a rear carrier for a Model 18 rigid, preferable keeping the pillion bum pad?
AMC classic spares don't have them.
Does any other carrier adapt fairly easily (e.g. BSA M20)?
Thanks, Barry

They are very rare, I missed out on one on ebay having been looking for a long time, so when the next came up I made sure that I won it. These were the only 2 I have seen on ebay over several years. But you can try to keep looking. There are 2 types, the military with the pannier lugs and the civilian without the pannier lugs. Otherwise they are identical.
