These look like a knock off of the paulchen racks (less the import duties and various mark ups) at a reasonable price for what they are. I wonder: 1. Anyone have experience with one of these racks? 2. Do they rattle? 3. Will that arm that holds the top tube of the bike work for a radically slanted top tube or does it only work with a horizontal top tube? 4. Which of these (T2 and T4) works with a 90 Westy? It looks from the photos like the T4 rests on the bumper. Does the T2 grip the bottom edge of the hatch door like the old paulchens did? Thanks Bill 90 Westy Syncro -----Original Message----- From: Scarlet Semko <damosem@BELLSOUTH.NET> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Date: Tuesday, January 04, 2000 10:22 PM Subject: Re: fiamma bike rack
