So i bought one hoping to put it onto my LT as i want a bigger top box.
It's not a straight fit...but i guessed that before i bought it.
The rear passanger handles have to come off.
The front mounting points are OK but recessed in a long way. If i use them as they are and with the space on the new rack i will either snap the new frame or break the bike plastics.
The rear mounting points are in teh right location but i'll need to cut the number plate holder back to get to the bolts...maybe a spacer needed here.
What i didn't know is the rack is not flat...the rear bar is set higher than the rest making mounting a flat plate hard.
It's a big faff getting it done..all i want is a bigger top box.
