new basket!!!

so i got this new basket for my bike.  its pretty nice. HOLDS QUITE A BIT!!!  its a sunlite 18x13x6, costs like 20 or 25 bucks.  its nice cause the legs are threaded so its completely adjustable to any bike and handlebar set up. ive had it pretty full with food and clothes and other stuff and its totally ssturdy. i like this feature over walds preset mounting holes in the legs. i cut off the factory mounting clip/loop things with the grinder and used some 1" rubber coated p clips from lowes instead, maybe use 3/4" if you have smaller bars.  they offer greater flexibility in terms of where and at what angles you can mount.  i cant see any reason why this set up with a sunlite basket couldnt mount to any bike and bar set up. 

31.8 1.5" risers
grind down the corners prior to mounting and reverse the screws, no bloody knees or ripped jeans.

bike dingleberries?
