Holy moly, does it even have an oil-ring? My old RZ-350 didn't burn that much oil! More seriously, are you set up with enough insurance for the liability suits you're setting yourself up for? - Dave Svoboda, Sandy Eggo

No way around it, you'll have to drill holes in the rack. I mounted the universal plate because it gives you the option of removing the trunk with just the key. I used only one of the rails, not both. But it's still very sturdy. \--- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "Randy" wrote:
