Anne, I don't want you to be discouraged with the installation. Do you or a
friend of any type of a sander or Dremmel that you can use to take down the
ends? Have you installed the rack yet? You can install the rack and let the
lid up until you get to where some one can help you.

Thanks, Ed, but I got the same suggestion from Dave, and I do not have a
good handle (sorry) on what it will take to trim that piece given the tools
I have left that haven't been sold or packed, and the strength I have to use
them. I have some tin snips, but they don't look up to the job. What did
your installer use to trim that bumper lid, and presumably soften that sharp
edge? I'm getting very discouraged and wish I had just sold the bike and
never bought the rack now. Anyone do this on their own w/o a machine shop
handy?

storage door is going to be a very tight fit.

storage compartment. When our rack was installed; the installer had to do do
a slight bit of trimming; 2008 19' Bambi. Once it is installed; it will take
you about 10 minutes max to learn how to use.
