Need help identifying a chrome solo rack and some bits?

Too right, M8!
Gratitude.

@1olbull Still waiting for your post of photos with it mounted on your delicious yellow striped guard. How is it working out?

Well since you asked, M8 . . .
It DON'T fit my 2012 Roadster!
She sits all shined up on my work bench.

That is a shock! I never even thought to try it my 2010 Roadster before I sent it as it looked so similar to the std 3 bolt pillion seat subframe and I already had the dual seat with riders backrest.
What was the issue - wrong hole location?

The shape just does not clear the fender, especially in the rear.
What bike did it come off of?
Perhaps I can re-sell it.

No idea but as per post#1 it came with a bunch of R3 gear so i am surprised it does not fit as I have not seen another Rivco version and

The solo rack is Rivco, no longer in production.
I had one, and it left nasty marks on the fender.
It's essentially eye candy and useless as a rack.

The silicon pads will themselves cause marks in the paint.
If you bend that thing, good luck with the metal not cracking, let alone the chrome.
Just telling you what I experienced, having it on for a few years.

I bought a few bits and bobs bundled with a black fly screen for my 2010 R3R and am trying to ID some of them, fitment for which model and if it is a Triumph or aftermarket part. The clipseal bags have a dozen or so mounting bolts of various sizes.

• Chrome solo fender mount rack - no markings but appears to replace pillion seat? Found it listed here with JRock's help- RIVCO still in shock £125.83

Weird!
Oh well - it must fit something, but a Rocket Roadster, it does NOT.
If you learn what it fits for sure, please let me know.
Thanks for the responses.

Some clarification sought from others.

What year? Std, classic, touring, roadster? Front fender or rear? - Below is a standard model - If front #13 shows the 2 inner reinforcement brackets the nut mounts to - If rear, #3 is the bracket they mount to.......... so the nut is welded to, or made into the bracket

Seeing we have the experts here on rear fenders, recently I sold a Rivco slotted rear solo chrome rack to @1olbull that I had purchased with a bunch of Rocket 3 gear. Both of us have Roadsters but I had never tried to fit it but when he did he found it did not fit his Roadster. The bracket's x3 mount holes are the same but it did not fit the curve of his Roadster fender. Others have had the same rack fitted to R3's as covered here Need help identifying a chrome solo rack and some bits?
This may give 1olbull a chance to shift it to someone who can happily use it.

Did they change the shape / curve of the rear fender from Std/Classic to Roadster?
I know the seats both combined and separate pillion and rider are interchangeable.
What about the rear fender?

Luckily I have now picked up a front and rear fender with the red stripe that I know will fit my 2010 Roadster.

Thanks @Ishrub
Would be nice if we got this sorted out and someone could benefit from the nice rack I now have.

No fender changes .....

Perhaps then, this Rivco Rack was never actually on a Rocket.
Its shape sure as heck does NOT fit the rear fender of my R3R!
