_Wilson_™ 6,591 Posted May 11 Nice! Can ya post more pics from deferent angles ? Need to see the underside. @TBRider might be a nice add for those fairings like you and @Wheeler n @Goober have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mach 1 24 Posted May 11 Hey Wilson, here's some pics...mounting is you place where you want it on rack, from bottom mark locations on underside and then you drill holes for a mount metal mount bracket to mount on seat, then u bolts from inside bins to your rack, looks like a little weather stripping can seal boxes ( lockable ), or I figured drill drain hole with a cork if not worried about a waterproof storage.

jeepwm69 7,719 Posted May 13 I picked one of those up a few years ago. Wife rode on it for about 1/4 mile and said "Nope". The one I had was too tall, so with her sitting it it she had to have her arms sticking out at almost shoulder level resting on the sides. It just positioned her awkwardly in the seat. That coupled with her rattling back and forth between the sides when I hit bumps and crossed ditches nixed that seat quick. I sold it and got my money back out of it. I have the Coleman/ Mad Dog gear soft bags on the back of mine now. They''re ok but overpriced and don't last too long if you leave your wheeler out at all.

Mach 1 24 Posted May 13 Looks like the Mad Dog more suitable for composite rack, the metal rack looks like would be uncomfortable for a passenger but I have been know to be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought it used, assume the guy I bought it from had the same issues I did. A lot of people like them, but my wife wasn't one of those people. Haven't had any complaints on the soft rear seats. The padding is thick enough where the rack isn't felt. They are pretty flimsy for what they cost, and the color fades on them fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mach 1 24 Posted May 20 I have a plan of attack..in pic, top is hardware that came with it, went to Ace and got 4 more u bolts and accessories, gonna use 2 u bolts per corner instead of 1..also on rack the 2 flatbars on the back angled forward,(see pic), gonna drill into them and bolt it down there, (bottom of hardware pic with additional rubber washers), plus wife is small so gonna be more forward and not as far back as possible. Also, if its not hard to remove rear rack, will be ALOT easier to remove rack, attach seat, then bolt rack back on..no room to get a pencil in between rack and fender to mark bottom of seat for drilling points ( see pic )...thanks guys, will update. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mach 1 24 Posted May 21 I have researched internet and can't find much or anything on removing rear rack for 2010 420, any help please and thoughts on my idea on removing rack and mounting lounger, trying to figure if rack is very labor intensive and not worth removing...thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,719 Posted May 21 Not too bad. 2 12mm bolts in the back, 2 12mm bolts, one on each side (you can see them looking above the rear wheel from the side), 2 10mm bolts holding the rear fender to the rear rack (look on the underside of the fender and you can see where they go up through the fender into the bottom of the rear rack). Unplug tail light, move all the wiring crap out of the way in one blob, and the rear rack should slide right out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcz 29 Posted May 21 Rack is not too bad removing. like jeep said a few bolts on each side and it'll lift right off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have little plastic clips that hold the fuel injection relay in place, and if you take a pair of wire dykes and pinch the feet together on the underside, they pull right out from the top. Once you do one, you'll understand what I mean. Unclip or lift out everything back there and it can all be moved to sit on top of the airbox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mach 1 24 Posted June 1 Ok, got it on. After removing seat and plastic back cover, removed to rear fender to rack 10 mm, was able to then push down to get chalk to mark rack. As you can see by pics, why use 4 brackets when 8 is better!! As well at back added my own 1/2" bolts, everything has rubber washers and back 2 have 2 rubber gaskets and 2 rubber washers..being from submarines and having sound management and isolation repeated over and over for 12 years, each u bolt has a foam insert In the u I added for sound isolation between rack bars and u bolt..it is SOLID !!! Ride soon but with flat dirt roads and barely hit 30 mph, don't see an issue. Next is angle sensor and new handlebar switches, all oem following great advice here on that..thanks forum 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
