Wire Basket Installation Instructions

Wire Basket Installation Instructions By Granny Nancy
	The cream colored channel protector that comes on the scoot, partially slid out. If you look closely, you can see the small holes where the cotter pins go. I save this protector and put it back in when I fly, to protect the channel. Click any picture to see a larger version
	Place the back panel of the wire basket in the channel and center it. At this point, it is easier to velcro the back panel of the basket to the steering column before inserting the cotter pins.
	Pushing the cotter pins in. Line up the flat part of the cotter pin with the holes and push the cotter pin thru. I could use something like thumb thimble since this kind of hurts my thumb. I have tried needle nose pliers but hard to keep the cotter pin lined up using these. I do use the needle nose pliers to remove the cotter pins when taking the basket off.
	My red nylon cord with cord lock. The little red bungie goes diagnally across the underneath the bottom wire, one hook in one side panel and the other hook in the non-opposite side panel on the other side.
	My work laptop in the basket. The wire basket carries about 20 pounds and does not interfere with steering as a heavily loaded handlebar basket might. If you remove the bungie, and fold up the bottom, the basket also folds flat without  removing the basket. However, I usually remove it and reinstall it about once a week since it fits in the backseat of my friends sedan better without the basket and without the back rest.
