Thanks for all the tips guys. Don't have a Benny's near me that I know of, I been to the one in soco and didn't even think to look for baskets there. I guess I'll wait till plugfest and see if I can find a place in buzzards bay or bourne that has them. Thanks again

How much does the large rear baskets normally go for at benny's? A shop a couple towns over has them for $30, does that sound about right?

I know this isnt what you asked, but I also had trouble finding baskets, and when I finally did, they were expensive and too small. So I used heavy duty zip ties and milk crates. Works great!

Thanks for the offer Skippy, but I'm going to wait until the risaa show and hit a benny's on the way there I think. I tried the benny's in buzzards bay or wareham when I was up that way for plugfest but they where sold out of baskets and rear kickstands..go figure
Thank you for the suggestions guys

It's been a few years but back then the big rear baskets at Benny's were not the really large "Paperboy Baskets". A true Paperboy basket will fit a Double Row AS bag, a full size Stanley thermos, a decent sized jacket and even more...in one side.
I got mine at Performance Auto near Weymouth Landing for $39 three years ago. It is awesome and I'm glad I did not settle for the smaller large baskets as the extra room really makes a difference.

I got mine at Benny's for $20 last year. They are the smaller baskets and definitely aren't real strong. I fit a single row AS bag and light jacket in one side. The wire also easily bends out of shape.
The one BigFish has is much better than the Benny's ones. I plan on heading down to Cedarville Cycles and getting one when I go to the MSBA show in Plymouth next month.

Thanks
Thanks for all the help guys, ended up picking up a basket from Benny's today. I see what you guys mean about them being on the smaller side, it barely fits my double row bronco bag. For $20 it'll work fine, the bike didn't even cost a 1/4 of that

Just spoke to a guy at Cedarville. he has one basket left. Great guy. he told me the name of his supplier and said I should order online since I'm 100 miles from his shop.
I promised him I wouldn't ruin his business by posting the site but if anyone wants it, PM me and I'll send it to you.

You can get Wald Baskets on Amazon... They have huge rear baskets that you can attach PVC pipe to hold your rods... I think their 535 model is the biggest rear dualie basket on the mkt about $45 plus $6 shipping via amazon 2-3 delivery
