If you are looking for one for the rear of the sidecar, we make them for our M72 type sidecars which are similar to Ural and others. For other types of sidecars we find that the racks for the top of tour boxes like on Harleys and Goldwings work very well and can be found at a good price.
What sidecar are you running and where to you want to mount the rack?

With the early Velorex's the luggage rack and the brush guard (bumper) were optional.
There were two models: 562E (Euro economy model) and the 562S (Standard) which had more finished fiberglass work and plusher upholstery. Price was $200. more for the 562S that has a rounded cockpit surround. The 562 Standard also has a tonneau that fits flat behind the windshield instead of over the windshield.

You have an earlier Velorex 562/03 (E model) that has been mildly customized. The seat is not OEM, the seat bar has been added, as are the side marker and step plate. The running lights look like later model ones. Hubcap is early style metal. The tinted windshield is not OEM. The grab bar was originally covered in ribbed black rubber to match the cockpit surround moulding. Mudflap was longer.

Good looking rig.

Here's a shot of the last 562E (562/03) model made.

Oh thanks for the Info Lonnie .. check out how the grandsons car seat lines up with the "previoulsy" modified seat in the hack. I bought it off ebay and did nothing but replace the tire and bolt it to the bike. No paint , nothing.... over the winter I had the frame powder coated for some minor scratches/surface rust. Oh and I made a new windshield ...Still deciding on a luggage rack , I actuall have an old hot tub cover lift(bent and straight tube) and I am working on a home made redneck luggage rack.

Hey, I like it -- should be quite handy. But what have we? Freezer Rack? BBQ Rack?
