    there's a washer that helps the rear pass peg. stay aligned. it goes on the front set of bolts the rack, lines up w/ th rear set

    the bolt from the silver hanger thingy is used to hold the rack, you jut have to drill out the plastic of the undertail a little so the rack slides up there

    and really put the rear rack on then tighten everything.

    NO, they are in the undertail area. the silver vertical spool things (prob. where you;d hook a bungie net too) on the undertail of the bike


    unscrew them
    take off the "button" part, use the same bolt


    drill out the plastic undertail a little bit, so the rack slides up in there

    and bolt em up

    But don't go crazy with the drill.....if you're not carefull, it's easy to drill straight through, and drill out the threads in the alui....you're looking just to enlarge the plastic opening enough so that the rack fit's up snugly to the undertary.

    Just installed Ventura on the Tuono. Easy-piezy and it didn't screw the ass of the bike too bad. Stuff looks well-made and I wish I would have just gotten that in the first place instead of being a cheap bastard.
    Bikes:
    2007.5 Tuono-Black, with 1102cc's of micah's badness!
    2012 Griso-Silver and black, Agostini pipe, some carbon bits.
    2006 Vespa GT200-bitubo suspension all around, Malossi big-bore, head and cam, Akrapovic pipe, all put together by Micah.

    gone 2002 Caponord-Oyster gray (as faithful as a hound dog)
    gone Futura-Red (on the AF1 showroom floor. Get some.)

    The more I learn about people, the more I appreciate rocks.
