thanks...the carrier is not that heavy actually the whole bike is maybe 40 pounds, i'm thinking of upgrading to disc brakes i have a way to put them on the rer wheel just gotta test it to see if it works
well i took the three piece air cleaner (outer cap-filter-inner basket thing) removed the outer and put the filter directly to the intake then put the inner basket thing on the top of the filter. Don't you like my technical terms
the rear storage came from canadian tire it was $39.99 cdn it's made by raleigh but you have to also buy a rack or already have one, the set on the bck of mine came to about $60 and a little bit of custom mounting
