1935 GTS Rear Rack

[Dave Swanson]

I purchased this rear rack for the GTS a few years ago from an Italian vendor I have forgotten the name of.  It was in raw metal.  I hung it from a hook while it waited for me to finally give it some attention.  Matching the  amaranth of the bike was always a perceived impediment to getting this little project off the ground.  I went to Walmart today and found something that was remarkably close - Rustoleum 2X Kona Gloss for $6.   I think it is close enough!

I am looking  for the same rack. In January there was an Italian company advertising them along with various reasonably priced spares.  Sadly, they seem to have stopped trading.

I’d better pick some up and see how close it is to my paint. thanks!

Hi Jerry, 

Are you is the US?  I have this rack in my shop,  bought years ago, but it’s not correct for either my Airone or Falcone, since all four legs are equal length.

Side holes center to center about 7” and the holes side to side, I.e. the width of the fender, is about 5 inches. 

If it looks like it will fit and you’re interested, hit me direct at mpe...@me.com ,  I’m sure we can work something out. 

Mike

I think most saddle shops will make small bags. There’s a local one out here that we’ve used.
