Is this too big ?
`cause I can cut it down but need to do promptly, what with the Yorks fast approaching.

Chris is it worth going to all the trouble ..... your only going to use it for the rally ..... and being that size will allow you to carry more gear mate ! !

Said she was happy to take it all in a rucksack.
After 150 miles, I don`t think so

Chris, is that a new rack?
How does it bolt on?
Ideally it looks like it needs shortening, if that can be done neatly then it could be the answer for a lot of people me included.

Looks like a chromed pallet
I'd leave it as it is Chris...... load it to the rafters & you may be able to do your first ever
wheelie 
All that bulky steel is cool... will compliment your centre stand a treat

Might need a red flag tying to it
As said, for how long it's going to be on.............
As long as it'll take a tent, chairs, sleeping bags, mattress, and extra duvet (may be cold!!) case of red wine , case of white wine, slab of beer, make up bag, three changes of clothes it'll be fine
P.S. don't forget your stuff as well

Don`t care about the stick.
Problem is racks for A1`s are rarer than frosted indicator lenses.
Bunnys suggestion is the same model as the one I got here where A series means mark 2 or E1 shaftie. They`re a lot longer it seems.
Reckon I might just live with it and carry a spare centre stand as well
