I would like to have a mechanic like him in my area ...

I think I have the Cuppini rear folding rack on my GTS... If not, I can't imagine the install would be too much different from whatever brand of rack I have. I remember some minor frustrations, which I worked out eventually... I believe the bolt size or alignment or something. You'll be fine - if I figured it out, anyone can! Report back with pics if you run into issues, though. You'll find lots of help on this forum!

If you work over your engine area with the bucket removed, cover the engine will a towel. I'm installing a rear rack and making it as difficult as possible. I dropped a bit (T30) down in the engine area and haven't found it yet. Not quite ready to ride here but now I'm worried what I'll hear when I start it up!

UPDATE: fished it out with a magnet tied to a string with a loop on the other end to go around my finger! That bit was not visible at all and it took some jiggling.

Good points/hints... Relative ease is well, relative, and somewhat tool-dependent, too. I have a dedicated T30 driver, so I'm not losing T30 bits down into the engine compartment anymore. But I've been there before, plenty of times, and it sucks.
