About to start painting this rather sturdy 2-in-1 rack what I purchased on eBay and was wondering if any of you had any idea what make/model it is. I'm hoping to be able to get a new backrest pad rather than upholstering the old one...   |

It looks like something that used to lower my nan into her bath.
Welcome back by the way Al. Where've you been?

It looks like something that used to lower my nan into her bath. Welcome back by the way Al. Where've you been? Getting my head round being given a responsible job basically! Also devoting a spot of time to renovating a late '60s Honda PC50 (yes I know, but it IS cute for a little Jap bike and the missus loves it - made this video for a couple of mates who didn't believe i'd actually managed to start the thing.... ...try not to laugh too much). Doing a spot more work to the Vespa right now though, hence my eagerness to identify that weird white backrest as i've got a fair idea just how crap my DIY upholstery is likely to be. |

Don't say 'Oh my God' every 30 seconds then!  Very funny clip. |

Gawd, thats a bit different isnt it? Are the holes/slats exactly lined up for the PX? Ive never seen one quite like it. I think I like it though...
ps. GREAT vid on the Honda!

Not had it on the bike yet but holes and slats seem fine when I hold it up against the body. The carrier section isn't amazing (about Polini standard) and it's missing one of the braces, but the actual backrest itself is seriously well-built. The plan is to spray it red and have a backrest cover in black, assuming I can either find an original one or cobble together something bespoke...
