My antenna mounting bolts feel like their driven in with an impact. How did you break them loose? I don't want to strip out the torx.....

From a previous post--The rack you are talking about uses the the holes in the fender filler for the permanantly mounted brackets. Best bet is to relocate your antenna to the inside of fairing. I tried that rack but figured the scooter would look like a ski boat with those brackets hangin off the *** end. I'll tell you something else ---- be ready to do some serious saddlebag aligning after you start un-bolting things from the rear struts. Things start doin the hoochy coochy when you remove those bolts. Took that rack back and replaced with.................

I run the detachable backrest with luggage rack bolted to it, and use a Kuryakyn Ultra Tour Bag. For the money and looks, IMO if I want/need a "trunk", I'll trade for an Ultra.
