Thanks Kevin. I was going to try the spacer idea next. Good idea regarding
the rubber washers. It sure does place a lot of stress on the fender. Would
like to see some close-ups if any one can post them.
Thanks, Ed

I was starting to wonder if the bracket that lives under the rr fender was stock for that setup or something someone made. Looks more like the latter because its a very crude piece of metal, but now that I know it has relatives out there.... I have to use a long bolt with about 1/2" spacers on each side. The rails don't line up flush on the spacer but I live with it for now. That setup defiantly has room for improvement. Maybe a whole new bracket with the correct length and bends or a spacer machined to a mild slant on one end. I hate the setup on the rr fender also. That's a bunch of heavy metal to be hanging there. Be careful on however you mount everything using that setup so as not to warp the fender and crack the paint. I use rubber washers inside and outside the fender, that seems to give it a little cushion and play. Improving that setup was going to be a project of mine this winter.

It seems to me that I may be missing a spacer on each side of the bracket that attaches on the inside of the rear fender. Either that or the bracket has been bent just enough to cause the problem. The guards just don't line up correctly. Can anyone help with this to let me know exactly what I need. Thanks in advance for the help.
