Re: hole question
Maybe for a couple of uses.......that is, those holes are where the old KD (American manufacturer) vintage luggage rack front mounts connected on my T500. I had the original adjustable extensions cut/lengthened to back off the rack/trunk from the seat a bit. That rack was on it when I bought the T500 some 25 years ago with only 1900 original miles on it.
