Bill,
I like your spirit AND I would like upper eyelets on my Sam!

Bolt and spacer choices are what make rack installation fun! FWIW the HAR
fits on both the upper and lower eyelets on my Gunnar, without spacers.

Turns out they won’t work from the lower eyelets regardless of tilt. At
least not without replacing the bolts and adding spacers at the to all the
connections.

Hey hey; one of my HAR bags came with a pair of Irish straps. Now to round
up something to strap the other side on with…and see how slanted they end
up being on the lower eyelets.

For what it's worth, my Gunnar with the HAR installed, still fit on my
car's roof rack this morning, using a QR style mount on the fork tips.
Most lowrider racks prevent you from putting your bike on that type of
roof-rack mount.

Tying this HAR thread with the Enmoot bike thread.
IF I was able to go to the Entmoot, I'd be tempted to bring my
double-double, since so many of you will be on your Quickbeams. My
double-double has double fork tip eyelets and mid fork braze-ons, so I went
ahead and set it up with my HAR
Good trick, making an eyelet-doubler. Careful with loading and angles, don't
want it moving around.
RivHQ told me my Sam wasn't designed for substantial front loads therefore
recommended Nitto mini+small basket not Nitto BFR+big basket. Seen a lot of big
ones since, so might as well save $ and
It shouldn't be all *that *hard to create a small L-shaped fitting that
screws to the lower eyelets and provides upper eyelets *and* replacement
lowers. It would take about 1.5" sq inches of sheet metal, max, a saw, and
a drill. You could also make it out of aluminum and thread it it. Lots of
For sure the HAR will connect to the lower eyelets. It just won't be
level, most likely. Not being level won't cause any problem besides
looking tilted.

Both my Atlantis and Betty Foy have double eyelets but I did call before
ordering and was told (can’t remember who at RBW answered) that mounting
them to the lower eyelets (on my Saluki) should work just fine. They’re due
to arrive on the 10th so I’ll find out for sure then.

I only have one bike, a 64 cm green hillborne, and it doesn't have the double
eyelets. I've always assumed that was a Wisconsin thing and not a mistake
specific to my frame alone. Right?
Anyways, I put a mini front rack on it and wasn't happy with how it felt with
anything more than a couple bag
I've encountered similar issues with other Nitto front racks. They work
well on many bikes, but may require clamps or other custom solutions.
I'm having a dickens of a time trying to mount a front rack for lowriders
on my girlfriend's San Marcos. Obviously, this bike wasn't designed to be

I don't have the mid fork brake ons, so I guess the answer is no.
Late 90s custom afaik, bought used in 2005.

The Hub Area Rack fits best on an eyelet above the fork tip and on mid-fork
braze ons. Will it fit your bike?
Most current Riv models have fork tips with double eyelets. If you buy a
brand new A Homer Hilsen, Hunqapillar, Cheviut, Hillborne, or Atlantis, you
are going to get double eyelet fo
