Looking for a crate/basket to sit on top of the front rack of my Azor Opa — the saddlebags are good, but they don’t always hold enough, and the rack by itself isn’t ideal for loose items (though it’s great for big bags of cat litter, and that sort of thing).
So far I’ve seen regular milk crates (plastic or wire), half-crates, and wire-mesh baskets that don’t look too bad… but the most appealing milk crate by far was this DIY lidded crate.
Anyone got another suggestion?
I found a folding crate at the Chinese store (Wal-Mart). It’s not square but it folds flat when not in use.
Is it metal or fabric? I’d really like one with rigid sides, so it can hold up to a little wind.
It’s some kind of plastic. Hard side, hard bottom and goes from flat to crate with just a flick of the wrist. $4.99.
13.5 inch X 18.5 X 1.75 folded 9 inches deep when unfolded. Solid bottom and the holes in the side are fairly small so loose items should stay in it. It weighs 1.75 pounds.
Sounds about right! I’ll have to find a Wal-Mart around here…
