Hi XT Performer,

I have a Hepco & Becker rack fitted to a 1991 XT600e, so may be able yo help.

Unfortunatly I don't have a digi camera though.

On the exhaust side, the front mounting point attaches to the bracket just behind the pillion foot rest. The rear-most mounting ppoint connects to the same part of the rear sub-frame as the left side rack, the third mounting point attaches to a different point of the rear sub-frame to the left side.

My bike no longer has the original silencer, which braced the rear sub frame. I have had some one off supports made to reinforce this area, so any spacers etc used on my bike may be different for yours.

I fitted it a couple of years ago now, so can't remember for sure, but I think I had to replace some of the bolts for longer ones.

Hope this isn't too confusing

Mark
