Gartengate holes?

Forums

Hello, can anyone tell me the purpose of the two holes in the middle of the rear

vertikal part of the gardengate frame? See atteched foto.

I guess the pillion footrests and the muffler are fastend here but why two holes?

Thanks Kurt

.. one of them is for a sidecar mounting.

The upper hole (plain, with horizontal slot) is for the pillion footrest. The lower hole (threaded) is for the silencer mount. On most frames a single hole serves both functions. I think the sidecar mount is right at the bottom, below the frame rail.

Pillion Footrest
