i have had my 82 ascot for 3 years now and i love it. i would like to take it on a fairly long distance ride but i have no where to put stuff. i have seen a luggage rack online but cant seem to find it again also looking for a windshield. if anyone knows of a web site or two for ascot accessories. any and all help would be appreciated
thanks in advance

i bought an ascot for my dad as a beginer bike. i never found anything for sorage or a windshield, but we did find some stuff at swap meets that we made work for a year or two. most if it was for other models but we made things fit.

Just found a rack, for my '83, from a guy on www.ADVRider.com (must be a member to see the classifides) they haven't made aftermarket for the Ascot in about a decade. Used is what you will have to look for or build one yourself.

rifle fairing went out of biz, but perhaps somebody bought the molds, they had a sweet quarter fairing . looks great and works sweet on my bike. a gearing change of +1 on the front and -2 on the rear really makes the bike behave like nothing else. and a supertrap & K & N airfilter... i can imagine what a modern pumper carb, like a 37mm keihen would do with it ...

I have a National Cycle windscreen on my CB750. A bit bigger than what you may want, but the make (or made) many sizes. I put it on to do a long road trip. Never took it off. Makes a big difference on the freeway.

RIfle fairing is still in BIz, they have the perfect 1/4 fairing for it. have one on mine, just needs a new shield. easy fit up. sorry i didn't check back sooner. rifle.com i wouldn't get anything bigger, but that is just IMHO. how about osme soft bags for over the seat ?? or a tankbag, magnetic or strap style..... ????
