Personally for me it's mostly about the style. I really prefer the rack mounting and being supported by the struts because of the styling and ease of mind on the struts taking the weight distributed and by 4 points of contact. I also like that it's quick disconnect because I also plan on getting a passenger seat that I can put on as needed and discreet passenger pegs for those once in a while times that a gal may get to ride along.

 

Thanks mate I would greatly appreciate it. Have really been wanting the solo rack and doing this modification will save me a few hundred dollars from the plate relocate kit and the ugly light relocate kit, and I'll be able to keep what already looks so much better.

 

Any luck on that pdf file?

 

Oh crap! I forgot!! Got side tracked working with my son in the car...

Worked on rebuilding the steering rack and front suspension... Mounted the front suspension:








Will do so tonight... the rack is off the bike, so it is just removing the lock and tracing it.... sorry...

 

No problem mate that's why I figured I'd ask haha. Appreciate it.

 

lol! My new giant garbage cans that Orange County decided I needed have quickly become workbenches as well.

 

hahahahahaaha, I know!! these thing are so big that they work perfectly for a standing bench! lol I hated them at first, now I am like...humm coooool!

 

As you can see, it is a pretty simple modification...










Let me know if the link to the pdf file works...

Luggage Rack Mount Mod

 

Thanks mate yea the PDF file works, saved it on my computer, now I will just have to order up the solo rack and mounting hardware and do this. How much hassle was installing the mounting hardware?

 

Piece of cake... very easy.
