OK......I got my "new" luggage rack home from MD without incident (i.e. it actually fits INSIDE the trunk it is designed to augment........sort of ironic/Confuscian, doncha think????) Anyway, not to wax philosophical........I've got the rack sitting in "dry-mount"/"test-mount"/"position-only" on my trunk lid (see attached pics).......but can't for the life of me figure out how I would know if it's in EXACTLY the "right" spot on the deck. Is there a mounting template that normally comes with these things when you buy them through "official channels"? (I picked mine up from the tall guy in the orange hat......and, damn my short memory.....what's his name again?? http://www.venturerider.org/forum/at...3&d=1370879583 We discussed all the intricacies of picking the right bolts, washers and grommets......but never really talked about how to pick an exact position/location. My thoughts, for what they're worth, are: - keep the front 'legs' about an inch back from the backrest so the vinyl ('er, fine Corinthian leather) can still be accessed for cleaning. (Armorall) - Make sure (for aesthetics, if nothing else) the back end doesn't extend beyond a vertical line up from the trailing edge of the trunk lid itself. - use the lid lock to find centre at the back end.....which is fine.....but the Midnight grommets on the upholstery don't seem to be centered on the backrest, so that method doesn't work for the front end! Should I just be getting a tape measure out and getting every edge TWO INCHES FROM "SOMETHING"?? Just curious if there was a "right" way. Thanks, anybody!
