Rene: It should, if the upper mounts are 165 mm above the lower ones. Check the touringstore.com website for a drawing showing this. The Duo has no vertical adjustment. The 3 holes on the mounting tabs allow leveling of the rack. The Duo comes with a spacer kit for fitting it up to forks of different thicknesses.
What I did was locate the new mid fork braze-ons 165 mm above the rear lower fork eyelets. I checked the location using the Duo as a template & it was correct. On my fork, we drilled holes in the fork blades and brazed in 5 mm water bottle bosses on both sides of each blade. Note that Riv does NOT recommend drilling holes in their forks but I don't always do as I'm told. It may also be possible to use hourglass mounts on the front or rear of the fork if you want to avoid drilling. A friend who has the necessary equipment and experience actually performed the work, and I'm pleased with the result. dougP On Jun 24, 7:15 pm, Rene Sterental <orthie...@gmail.com> wrote: > Doug, > > Assuming the Atlantis was set up with a fork with full braze-ons like the > Bombadil fork is currently set up, will the Duo mount well on the braze-ons > that are behind the fork and that are meant for low-rider racks? > > I'm getting such a fork on my Atlantis that will replace my Bombadil, and > I'm very curious to find out if the Duo will work well, or if I'm better off > with the Nova. > > Thanks for your feedback! > > René > > > > On Sun, Jun 20, 2010 at 11:03 AM, doug peterson <dougpn...@cox.net> wrote: > > +1 for Mojo's set-up.
