Chrome Fender Racks

Just received my racks yesterday afternoon. Hope to get them installed this weekend.

The pictures on the web site do not do them justice!! Absolutely beautiful! Great quality!!! ThumbUpThumbUp
 
Post a photo after you get them installed--anxious to see how they look-----have got nothing but positive feedback on mine
 
Got mine today, great workmanship. I would appreciate any installation tips, I'm really anxious about drilling into that beautiful fiberglass. Three of the legs fit flush but one doesn't, I guess that's where the grommets come in, help please.
 
I know about that "anxious"--took me a couple days to work up to putting a drill on my fenders.
I found that the best way to do it is to drill the two holes on one end --put the bolts in those holes to hold in place then mark and drill the other end.
I used a prick punch to mark the spots and hold the drill in place so as not to "slide" off the hole
Mine also had one leg shorter than the other but was fine with the grommets. I also added some lock tight to the threads.
i put grommets inside and out. Post some pics when your done.
We went on a Romeo ride to Brownsville tx today and got lots of compliments

Went shopping yesterday and strapped a case of Tecate on the rack----warning : do not pop a can as soon as you get home--pop pop fizz fizz oh what a mess it is !!! :Shrug:

Meredog,
Got them installed today, unable to post photos, if I had an email address I could send them to you.
Installation was fairly straight forward, one thing I learned was after bolting the first leg, slide a grommet under each of the other legs before drilling, otherwise if you drilled with the legs flat the alignment would be slightly off when you added the grommet for final bolt down. This may be basic info for you guys but I had to learn it the hard way.

Man do i like these racks--wife had a box that needed to be shipped thru UPS yesterday that if not for the racks i would have had to taken with the truck---Guitar jam in the afternoon strapped guitar on rack and sat the roland mini cube amp in the pet carrier and off i went---
 
Couldn't mount my racks this past weekend as I had wanted due to unexpected chores that popped up. Hopefully, this coming weekend they'll get installed. Pictures to follow.

Those "hunny-do lists" seem to get more frequent as spring approaches !!
