WTB: Blackburn or Copy front rack
 
Hello to all-
Am looking for a Blackburn or similar front rack. These were pretty common on Japanese touring bikes in the mid-late 80's. Lots of rear ones out there but haven't found any decent front ones.
SOMA makes a similar one but it's too long in front by a couple inches.
Example is in black but would prefer silver painted/anodized finish to match the rear one I already have.
Thanks for looking!
Doc

I know, I know, not what you’re looking for exactly. But if you are running front of Panniers, this is truly the way to go. You can tell old-school Blackburn racks because they have his first name “Jim”on them.

Thanks but, as you say, not what I needed. Not running Panniers.
