Use a small steel bbq grill grate for a nice platform. Doubles for bbq grill once at the bike camp.

I've reverted back to a basket.

See pics for spacer idea for top o' fork strut mounting. Makes it nice and flush.

Beware of clearance issues. I need to rethink this.

Hi Imler,

Since the weight of cargo is pushing the basket downward, using those second set of mounts for vertical support might be more useful. The diving board will take care of making sure the rack doesn't move toward the front.

I ordered second set of struts and used them as shown in the picture.
