hmm ok, so I may only have a chance if I could find the older model rack and also try it out. That may not be worth the trouble of making a return to see.
Oh yeah, I thought I remembered finding that link to your t900 mods page off of a bikeforum's post. Great site, btw! I've referenced it a lot over the past year whenever I've been looking at potential things to do w/ my t900. The pictures are very clear and give me a good idea of what will and will not work.
