Thanks for your input! I figured out what I was doing wrong. I had the
luggage rack installed when I got the bike. I didn't think to remove the
bolt hole covers until this morning. Doh!
And like you it took a fair amount of pressure to get it in
place. Whew! I was beginning to get pissed fearing that it wouldn't fit
and I'm leaving on a 10 day trip next Thursday.
I need to learn to take things a little slower!!!!
