Want to see my BF front rack?
New front rack for my BF NWT. I wanted the real thing since they make them for the bike.
https://store.bikefriday.com/product...ducts_id=19051
On my daily rides I tend to carry a front basket atatched to a clickfix Caddy. After I installed BA`s on the bike the front tyre started rubbing the underside of the basket so I had to install the Caddy a bit higher.
With this rack the Caddy is back down low where I like it. Underside of the basket resting on the top of the rack so I can carry much heavyer weight in the basket now.
It came in a yellow bag to protect it when traveling in the suitcase.

I was so happy with the result so I forgot to take pix of the whole bike with rack without basket, maybe later.

I have the prior front rack 8mm Tube , vs 10(3/8") pannier rack.. so I use the smaller Ortlieb Hook insert .
My Older Sport packer bags are not produced anymore for Bikes , But to see the bag in general,
they still are used for the Horse saddle bags.
their lids have 4 D rings,[current sport packer don't] , I use those to anchor a stretch Net's hooks
for over flow packing , like bringing home a Boxed Pizza. or tying on Boxes..
The Bike Friday Pannier racks are Quite Useful ,, an Un powder coated Front cross piece is cheap.
A spare was Bought then Modified with a Threaded Boss in the center .. for a Light mount another hook or what ever..

I always knew you were a hunter fietsbob. Going out in the wilderness alone with your bike and bringing home pizza on the front rack 
Good idea with the midifyed crosspiece by the way.
