Front Rack?

Post by HoosierBuddy »

Hey everyone,

I just ordered the rear rack, cowling protector, windscreen and distressed leather seat cover for my new Buddy International. I felt comfy ordering them because I saw some videos on YouTube showing how easy they are to install. But, I couldn't find ANYTHING on how to install the front rack. Does anyone have any experience with this? If anyone has any videos or step-by-step docs they can point me to, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks from a newb!

The front cover has to be removed and drilled in order to mount the front rack. There are marks on the back of the cover that show where you to drill.

Not really even drilling: more like what to trace out with a utility knife.

The installation after that is trivial - long 10mm-head screws and washers go through the rack into plastic spacers and then into pre-welded threaded holes in the front frame.
