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.

No boat, back in the suds.
