Re: [ST] Anybody have a Renntec rack




That's been my experience as well, the reinforcing brackets came with the
Triumph top rack kit.  Sadly though, no matter what I do, I can not get the
piece that you offer up from behind and below to install at all.  Anyone else
have difficulty with that one and find a solution?
