Jamm13dodger: Fitting rear rack? (Donnerstag 14. April 2011, 21:00)

Hi, i've just bought a rear rack for the Bulldog and am having no luck fitting it. Does anyone else have the genuine Yamaha rack that could take a couple of quick pictures to show me which fixing points they are using?

Thanks, Rob.

Yes, that helps. I understand from another forum that I will also need 2x8mmx15mm long bolts and 2x 6mmx25mm long bolts to fit. I'll be off to the hardware store today for those.

Thanks, Rob.

the rear s c r e w holes are original tapered UNF / NPT,the thread is narrower than the original M8
possibly recut,
M8 fits, but with some violence

The rear hols on my bike don't seem to have a thread. Do you need to tap the holes yourself? It's this hole i'm talking about flickr.com/photos/12378513@N06/56236266 ... hotostream

thanks, Rob

Normally welded nuts are in
from the inside frame
Unfortunately, your picture is to close and a bit dark.;)

give me a little time, I take pictures of my original rear rack,
do you have a picture of your rear rack?

Hi Rob,

the rear holes are original for M8 x 15 mm screws, but the threads are coated with lacquer.
As Tom says...M8 fits, but with some violence.

The front screws (the mounting screws of the mudguard) require a spacer with perhaps 10 or 15 mm.

Look at the photo below.

Cheers Buk

Thanks everyone. I have an M8 tap so i'll run that through the hole to clear the lacquer out.
Rob.-- Samstag 16. April 2011, 13:56 --All fitted now. Thanks for everyones help.

Glad I had the tap though, would have been a real pain without it.

Rob.
