Brian: See if you can get the fender & rack struts to share the lower (rear) mounting eyelet. If you look at the Nitto strut, the second hole is directly above the lower one, so you can drop the rack perhaps an inch (?). The way the rack strut angles, you have to start cutting it to the rest of the holes. That then moves the rack forward.
I'm still playing with my R-26 on my 58 Atlantis. I'm trying to get it as low as possible for clearance at the seat and have been reluctant to cut the struts. Hard to take a hacksaw to a $150 chrome plated rack. dougP On Sunday, August 4, 2013 6:50:50 PM UTC-7, Brian Campbell wrote: > > I made some changes to my AHH.
