Like the title says, I'm looking for a cargo rack that goes over the rear fender on my 2013 C5 Bullet. Peter at Nfield Gear says that they have chrome racks in stock and by around the 25th of this month they will have stainless steel and black racks. If I can get a chrome rack second hand before then and for the right price, I wouldn't mind paying someone local to powder coat it for me. If not, I'll be getting one from Nfield Gear when they get them in. (this also serves as a notice that they will have a cool new product!)

Where are you located?
I have a chrome rack on my c5, the quality of build and chroming sucks but it works. If you are in Seattle area and want to check it out let me know.  Its not worth the cost of shipping in my opinion.

The quality is not great, but the rack looks okay and does work just fine. 

The rack I have is chrome and the finish is fairly poor quality.  The build itself is actually good; straight and symmetrical.  Some of the welds are covered in silver paint in places.  I'll likely have it re-chromed or powder coated this winter.

Are you offering to sell it? If so, how much do you want for it?

Sorry, I wasn't clear at all when I looked back at that....pre-coffee post.  I do not have an extra one.  sorry again, I must stop posting so early in the morning.

What I was trying to say it that while functional, if you get one you'll want to have it chromed or powder coated.

I recommend making your own to be Chromed or coated.  The wait was many months and not worth the cost.  Have a local fab as you want.  Its better money spent.
