[mitchell1965]

Looking to get front and back racks for my yamaha will the yamaha 200e racks work also are there any others that might work.....thanks

[YamaBoss]

I have a 200e rear rack on mine. I had to make a little bracket to get it to work. I also have a front rack that I haven't put on yet, but it should work.

Yama boss did you cut out the holes in the back fenders, and what type of bracket did you have to make to get it to work.....

[YamaBoss]

Yes I cut holes, and I'll get a picture in a hour or so.

There is the holes I drilled and what the mounts look like from the

Those are the mounts themselves. I took two piece of square tubbing, welded a nut in the smaller tube, welded it to the frame. I'm not finished yet, I still have to clean it up and paint it. But it works good, very strong and gets the job done.

These are what I used for the bolts. I got those handle caps for 5 dollars and then a long enough bolt to fit.

Or the other option is get a 200e grab bar that has these mounts built in. I couldn't find one and was pressed for time last fall when I needed my rack so I just made these mounts. Hope this helps.

the yamaha 200k has a rear rack setup that clamps onto the rear grab bar and down to the rear carrier. it doesn't require cutting your fenders or any special mounting brackets215183
