My rack is a Black Widow. Except for the fairing mounts, I believe it is the same basket. And there is an extension available for it also.

Bingo! I saw the black widow one but I am not positve that is the same.(it might be) But I did learn that Sports rack makes the same rack for Coleman and Thule, and someone owns somebody else not sure what the real story is..... So I found this. (it even has the goofy guy in the ad)

I am almost positive it's the one.....

Great info. I've been looking on/off for a couple days. Costco only has about 250 racks left in stock....I'm guessing that Thule is closing that competion basket off the market - and keeping the hitch rack line I keep seeing on all the SportRack dealer sites.
I did notice that the price for the extension is more than the Costco rack!! Too funny. Guess I'll have to look at mounting a double rack instead....hmmm (or do more with less -who would ever think of THAT!).

Is the front of the Coleman/SportRack basket angled, like the Black Widow basket, or is the front edge of the basket vertical, with only the fairing angled? It appears from the pix to be angled.
Also, Is the faring the 44" (longer side rather than the short side)? Wondering if I could mount it sideways as a different option?

Coleman safari rack back! NEW LINK
Costco sold out of them a few weeks ago, but I checked last night and they are back. Order them quickly though, because they are a special purchase and will sell out again. I also read somewhere that Thule bought Sport Rack, who makes these, so I don't know if they are just getting rid of old inventory or what. I wish the rack was longer. unfortunately, the extension cost more than the whole rack! For the price ($75), you can't beat it...
Here is the new link b/c its a different catalog number:

Will post pics when I receive it. They shipped it the same day and the $75 includes shipping.
