It contained a couple of bits for the Big Dummy, it had the new flightdeck along with associated hardware for fixing it, onto this will go Calebs seat/padding called the Magic Carpet. This has reflective panels at the back and the piping down the side is also reflective. This has straps to fix it to the rails that the flightdeck attaches to, and then we had what they call U Tubes, these run along the side of the bottom rail, attaching at the front and back with hidden bolts.
This is the nice thing about this Xtracycle gear is that its all open source so will fit all machines made to the LT (long tail) standard, be it a Kona, Yuba, Big Dummy etc. So you can DIY a lot of stuff, anything you want really or you can buy certain bits from Xtracycle along with other manufacturers. It was Xtracyle that came up with the standard for their Freeradical that bolts onto the back of any 26'er 700c machine. Surly were one of the first to work with xtracycle to build a LT design of their own. The racks and spacings etc are all compatible until you get to this year when they have now released a new updated freeradical that now uses LT2 designation and Surly have made the recent Dummy only compatible with their own stuff and a limited amount of Xtracycle gear. This is why I wanted an earlier Dummy as it's compatible with more types of gear.
