R&B Knees
R&B players, I'd love to see how you have handled adding knees to your instrument. I've got a 'The Professional' with the two factory knees. Wanting to bring it up to the full Emmons setup on both sides but I know that's gonna get crowded fast. Love to see how y'all handle incorporating different things in with the racks!

It's a bit of a job, but it's not too hard. Because of the R&B design you pretty much have to take apart a lot of plumbing that's already there to install the new racks. Depending on your setup, you might not need too many new rods, since they're shared in a few places.
You might think about using two hole pullers & barrels, since they're pretty much compatible with rack & barrel... same changer. Michael Yahl is your go-to guy for parts.
I may have some undercarriage jpegs of Profs with 4 knees for reference.
Good luck... it'll be worth it.
