Fitting legshield spare wheel carrier.

[Perkin]

Hi

I'm fitting a spare carrier, the type that bolts to the tunnel and holds the wheel flat to the leggies.

However, it isn't predrilled for said accessory. I know roughly where it's going and how to secure it, but I don't know the exact position it's supposed to go! Has anyone done the same job, or does anyone have a machine with threaded holes, and if so, what's the exact position?

Thanks

I think the lower two bolts also hold the horn cover on?? Just replace those two with longer bolts..... Seem to think I've seen it before.... 🤔

Nah, it doesn't have a horn cover. I need to drill two holes inline on the tunnel just above the brake pedal, round about the seam (probably one above & one below)... I'd post a pic of one but I can't post pics!

tricky job matey..just got to mark through the holes & drill..be sure to put masking tape on both sides before..

I will try to measure where the bolts are for you when im back with the bike this week

That would be helpful. Thanks, Anthony! 

I found some pics on Google I was going to use to estimate the position. Looks about 3/4" - 1" from seam to centre of lower hole.

This is the best pic I found on the TSS forum. It looks to be about 3/4" up from the seam.
