CARTAGENA Spain | Hi all, anyone know how to install the trunk rack in a victory vision. The issue is that I'm doing it is very expensive to buy and I have the instruccuines assembly when finished send photos to see him, here in Spain all accessories for the victory are prohibitively expensive. If there is a mounting video or pictures please give me the link. greetings

New Bohemia, VA | adolfoch, I'll see what I can find, but you have to disassemble the trunk lid by removing it from the trunk. I used a movers blanket in the yard to keep from scratching things up. Once you've taken apart the lid, there are already markings to drill to put the four posts. After your drill your holes, making sure the four post line up with those holes, you can install your foot washers and bolt the rack down. Keep in mind the lid is much heavier with the rack and do your best to keep it from flopping around when reinstalling. Having a second person to help is good, but I had to improvise at this point. Hopefully you'll get pictures or I'll find you something later. |

San Antonio, TX | When I get a luggage rack, the worst job I will have is removing the mirror in the trunk that covers two of the bolts.

CARTAGENA Spain | I have no problem because I have the mirror, what is not is whether to pierce the upper case only or also the lower, if I had a picture would help me much as the luggage they are doing and I do not know the distance between the screws and where they are located, I have not clear how the housing is removed

New Bohemia, VA | okay, I looked and can't seem to find anything in the way of instructions go. But you have to remove the lid and then completely remove the outer skin. You will see the O where the holes go. I forget what size, but I remember the instructions gave drill bit size just one size larger than the bolts. I used the exact same size and got it on the mark perfectly. There should be washers and so on to mount if you have everything. You never put more than 20lbs on the rack so you should be good.
Sorry, I do not have pictures or videos to install, maybe someone else does, or at least the instruction sheet they can scan in or mail to you. Best wishes.
I'll try and remember to tell you how the housing is removed. It is simpler, but not be necessary to remove the trunk lid completely. The issue I had was holding the hinge nuts to put the bolts back into the hinge. That's the way the instructions said and it made it eaiser to get the skin off to mount the trunk rack.

This is the notes after I did the install, and I guess pictures expire on here as the link does not take you to any as stated.
Don't know where my written instructions are either. Sorry.

Albuquerque, NM | I purchased my vision used with the trunk rack. I had to disassemble the trunk lid to tighten the rack which was rattling. If you have the mirror, you have to remove it and remove the screws behind it. Use some fishing line like a wire saw to cut the double sided tape. You have to remove the upper screw for the cable that holds the lid open. There are a number of screws that secure the top lower lid to the upper lid which have to be removed. Remember where the screws go. I think there were a couple of different sizes/heads. When you can separate the top lid from the lower lid, reach in and unplug the wire harness connectors to the
top lid turn signal lights. That's the best I can do from memory. If you have the service manual, it should have a visual breakdown of the trunk. Good luck! |

| I discovered a great trick in removing the mirror for rack installation. Use some fishing line, fit it behind the mirror (if its not Velcro'd) and saw the double sided foam tape. Now I can install the rack and now Velcro the mirror back on. |

| I bought the cycle-ops luggage rack for the trunk. The instructions don't seem very clear to me. Does anybody have the original victory install instructions they could send me as a PDF? |
