It is a restriction courtesy of Yamaha factory, ive read other guys removing it to aid in performance.

Mark,could you make a picture of where that is?

Gees Eric, good find,the kickstart alone is worth that, they are pretty hard to find, I know I need one for my XT550.

Hey Karl the rack fits until you try and fit the seat, the front bracket with all the holes gets in the way. I could modify it but will try to get an original one.

From whom did you find this magnificent pile in the USA? I wonder if the rest of the bike is around the states
