Just installed a Super ATV spare tire carrier on my Z-Force 950 HO EX. It looked like my best option for carrying a spare. I would have liked a receiver hitch carrier, but the dual exhaust comes straight out the back. Didn't know if the heat would be hard on the tire.
So I got this and I'm kinda disappointed. I had read it is compatible with the rear storage box. Well it is, the storage box still fits. You just can't open the lid more than 3 or 4 inches. So I had to remove the rack again, put my cooler bag in the box, and I guess it will stay in there now.
And even though I have a Super ATV rear window (another mistake because it has to be removed to access the air filter) the bottom mount holes do not line up with the holes in the new bracket that is part of the carrier mount. I guess they don't test fit their products.
Oh well, guess I had to choose between convenience or carrying a spare when I'm 100 KM from home.
And ya I know, there is no tire on my spare rim, LOL My dealer is 4 hours away and he has a couple take-off tires for me, just haven't got there yet.
