Hmm. A few things:

- The Nitto rack is indeed level, as mentioned the bike is hanging downwards on the rack, giving the allusion that it isnt.
- Looks like I'll be able to get my hands on a handlebar bag before I leave, so I'm going to drop the Nitto rack and utilize the handlebar bag.
- As for the lowrider racks, There's no way to utilize the mid fork mount and fork eyelets to get these perfectly level. The only option is to have the top slanting down towards the bike as shown here. Seems odd given the era of the bike and the rack, and that they are essentially designed for each other. I've used this rack before and just assumed the angle was ok. Unless someone is seeing something here that I'm not:
