buying a Jandd Extreme rack from bikeisland.com

Has anyone ever bought this rack from this site? If so, does it include the mounting bracket for reflectors/lights? I bought my Expedition rack from bikeparts.com and it included that bracket. Thanks.

I can't comment on the rear rack, but I bought an Extreme front rack from Bike Island, and it came with mounting hardware and best of all, free shipping!

Rich B., did the Extreme Front Rack come with a mounting bracket for a reflector/light?

The little black sack of goodies (yes, includes reflector hanger) comes attached to every Jandd rack from the factory.

Thanks for the information. I just ordered one last night. It was $56, no tax/shipping. Checked my email this morning. They already shipped the rack. Man, that is fast! Jandd products rule! WOOHOO!

I received my rack today. I found out two things. One, the rack had a gloss finish. And two, it didn't come with the reflector/light bracket. I called Jandd and a customer service representative said he will mail me one. He also offered me a 30% off coupon. I asked him about the paint finish. He said some racks are flat and others are gloss finish.

I have a Jandd Expedition [flat] Rear Rack and now a Jandd Extreme [gloss] Front Rack. Not a BIG deal. Next time I order some racks for my Trek 820 project, I'll get a gloss rear rack and a flat front rack.

Gloss - really? I wonder when they started that? I wonder if it is more durable - the flat black scratches pretty easily.
