I will try to remember to do that. As [MENTION=381793]gugie[/MENTION] mentioned, mine was a relatively simple job. This was partly because he's a busy guy and I didn't want to mooch too much of his time, so I started by making my rack fit by my own means; I cut off the bottom 4 cm of the struts, inserted some scrap metal to make it the right length, and put it on the bike as a test fit. Once I had everything to the right dimensions, I sent it to Mark to unbotch the mess I'd made.

So as I say, I will try to remember to post a photo of his work. But you won't see anything. It's prettty close to seamless. :THUMB:
