Hi Folks! For those of you who have the Pro Moto Billet rear rack and the Pannier Protectors, Did you have to drill the attachment holes for the pannier protectors in the rack, or were they pre-drilled from the manufacturer? I just got my new rack tonight, and I'm a little puzzled. Thanks!
Yep, you have to drill them out. I used the screws that came with the rack and they sheared off during a ride in the middle of the desert in Oregon. I ended up safety-wiring it for the rest of the trip. I used higher grade bolts to replace them and have had no issues since. You might want to beef up the cast aluminum thing under the fender that has the turn signals attached to it. I broke mine twice. I had additional aluminum welded to it and it is solid now.
