Hi

Any body tried to fit renntec sports rack with seat cowl on t595, I presume if poss will have to cut/dremel bits out of side.

Any pointers or pics of completed job please

Thanks Peter

Yep fitted one recently to my T595 , I had a slight problem fitting mine, the seller sold me the rack without the fitting kit , I didn't realise it was missing until I actually attempted to fit it (Renntec wanted £25.00 for the fitting kit, I may be daft but I ain't stupid )

Luckily for me it already had the Triumph Grabrail fitted , so after a bit of thinking about it I used that instead to mount the front supports.

Peter DO NOT CUT/DREMEL OUT ANYTHING it not required.

But I did make a couple of rubber strips to fit under the rack at the back. You will still get a slight gap on seat cowl.

I'll take a few shots of mine and post them

Rec thanks for pics very helpfull, must be some way of getting closer fitting cowl, I do not mind dremmel/cut out of very neat profiles, not sure have confidence to do it ! 1 slip and its very expensive..

Can triumph or renntec grab rail be fitted with cowl

Bottom line being that I need a set up so I can swop to seat pad with a grab rail or rack already in place so I can take pillion with minimal refitting of grabby hold of bits.

Has any one had same issue and how did you get around it, and before you say it no I do not intend to buy a sprint for time being

Thanks Peter

Got my grab rail off ebay and that had no fitting kit
Remember when you fit the rack you will need longer screws in mech that locks the hump down
