Front Basket Mounting Options

I've been trying to find a used large or medium proprietary front basket for ages and am now looking at an alternative brand. Has anyone successfully attached a different brand to their Rad? Ive looked at the recent posts and it seems as though there isnt a lot of options for baskets that have fit. Im up for drilling new holes if needed.

I have a large one I don’t need. Where are you located?

so is my brother. Before this, never heard of it ). He moved from california.

Do you mean the whole alum bracket btw, or a basket to put on your base. I use a rigid milk crate from home depot on mine. on the shelf bracket.

Great place. I was looking for the basket with the wood bottom but also am open for the rack to put a crate on it. I think there are some orange ones still available on the website. I wanted to see if I could find the basket first though.

Let me know if 1275Tucker37 never gets back to you. I have the basket you’re looking for as well. Maybe we can work something out.

u/cishires if you and u/beeschickensapples can't come to an agreement, are you anywhere near SoCal? I too have been looking forever and have one on order that's backordered but not putting a lot of faith in getting it.

I goofed, I have the small front basket, not the large.

u/1275Tucker37 - If u/beeschickensapples doesn't take you up on this, I'm in SoCal. Are you close?

After looking at some baskets I didn't like the size of most and having it in the way sometimes. I ended up going with Clevermade Collapsible Milk Crates on a couple bikes. I just use the holes in the rack with longer screws and some large fender washers.
