Rear Fender Rack

What a huge, honking piece of bling! This rear fender rack, or solo rack, is a Yamaha Genuine Accessory
made of chunky 6061 billet.

Very easy to install, and makes the bike look even more sleek and low slung than what it is already. To make the solo conversion, you must first remove the rear passenger seat. Using your 1300's ignition key, remove the driver's seat and place it off to the side. Looking back under the passenger seat, you will find two bolts facing you. Use a 10mm(?) socket with a 2" extension bit to remove these two bolts. Now you should be able to slide the seat forward (there is a tab at the back of the seat) and then upward to remove. Easy enough. Now we are left with two brackets and a few square clear vinyl stickers remaining on our rear fender. Using your socket, carefully remove these two brackets from the fender as to not scratch the paint with either the tool or hardware. It's easy to do. Put the brackets on the left over seat or toss them in a baggie. You won't reuse them again unless you reinstall the seat.Wait for a nice warm day, or very cautiously use a hair dryer to remove the protective stickers. If you manually apply heat, do not get the fender too hot, as it is easy to blister the paint. I just leave the bike parked inthe sun, then it just peels off.

Now installing the rack is jus as easy as removing the seat. Two larger spacers go toward the front of the bike, and two shorter ones are installed toward the rear. Blue Locktite and you are good to go!

Enjoy the ride!
