thanks for sharing this. it reminded me of the rivelery between the armed forces. my father-in-law passed away going on 5 years ago. sargent us army combat also in the south pacific. was real sick towards the end, would take him out side to set in the sun. he would go to sleep, i could see hi eyes moving around under his eyelids. his hands and feet would move a little. he wake up and look around, tell him welcome back. he would say "you know were i've been? ". yes you were back there in the hell no man should have to go thru. he and i had a special bond. when he was better we had talked about things no man tell his family. no one but a combat vet understands. he ww11 & i 'nam, i miss him. peace be with you and all our vets. don c.

yes its right under the trunk in the middle of the rack that the trunk bolts down to. has two rubber straps across the top of black to hold top bown and water tight. hops this helps. this is also a good time to check for any cracks, should not be any if the mode has been done. i not sure about a 1992 rsv, mine is a 1999 rsv best reguards don c.
