I came across a good deal on a Hondaline Interstate Trunk Guard Rail for my 99 Interstate, so I bought it. It came without the installation instructions. Does anyone have a copy of the installation instructions or can help with the installation of the trunk guard rail? It will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.....

Jim, I got the instructions. However after reading your post on how hard they are to install, I wonder if I did the right thing in buying them. LOL. I've read other members post on the VRCC forum on how hard they are to install. Maybe someone who has an Interstate and lives in the DFW area who has installed them locally won't mind lending me a hand at a wrench party. Thanks again. P.S. I also want to thank Disco for making this happen.  |

JimL, Thanks for the typical quick and helpful response! Dag, Thanks for posting JimL's scanned paper to pdf to your Valkyrie Document Center! Victor, Any time! But to reiterate from the emails, "I'm not sure I have the patience/diligence to do the "measure 20 times" part and I'm almost positive I don't have the nerve to do the "drill once" part." Especially on someone else's bike! |

I cut a little off both sides, as they are so tight going together. Need to redrill the holes then at the back.

What a bunch of pansies!  Best advice - blue tape, lots of blue tape and take your time. Don't measure numerically, it leaves too much room for error. Calibrate paper to compare one side to the other. You can do this Victor! ~Jeff |

A little Bondo, a little paint and you're golden!!!  Seriously, I've disasembled the trunk before and it sounds scarier than it really is. I'd recommend just drilling one hole per side and then using that to mount, measure and verify the other drill locations before actually putting more holes into the trunk. I don't have the trunk rails but if I ran across a deal on them, I would not be too worried about the install. Just take your time and go in small steps so that any mistakes are correspondingly small. This doesn't sound half as scary as putting the pod lights in and even a klutz like me could do that. You indeed can do this, Victor. |

I've got your pansies right HERE. LOL Jeff, thanks for the tip on using the blue masking tape. I'm going to attempt this when I have the time and I read that a second pair of hands comes in handy. I will do the drilling, no problem. Might wait for a wrench party to do this.  |

I'll help you! TJ, thanks for the offer. I'm not in a big hurry to get it done, but I will get it done. Let me know how your Iron Butt trip goes. When I did mine to Ocala, FL. I took I-20 East to Mississippi and then cut across the state until I got to Mobile, AL. where I picked up I-10. I stayed on I-10 until I reached I-75 and took it South until I reached Ocala, FL.. If I were you and the weather cooperates, I would cut Southeast through Texas and pickup I-10 and head to Fl. that way. Good luck on your trip if you decide to go. I really enjoyed mine. Shoot me a PM when you get back and you have some time a few months down the road and I can ride to your house to get that rail installed. |

I-20 to Canton where I picked up 64 to Tyler, then 69 (great ride if it weren't so bleepin' cold) down to Beaumont. I-10 from there. |

It looks like by Thursday temperatures are climbing again. looking good 1st fastest and and potentially the coldest is I20- to Shreveport than take I49 South to I10 into Florida. 2nd shortest(it's like 25 miles less) warmer (will take longer) less Interstate: Dublin-Waco-Conroe-Beaumont-I10 to Florida |
