 Hi Chris,

Maybe I did it wrong. I did not know which part went on first so I put
the
floorboard rails on first and the crashbars on the outside and my pipe
goes
right through the opening in the sidestand with no contact of any kind.
Also
I did not use any kind of washers for shimming. I haven't get everything
together yet but it looks like it will work. Maybe I did it ass
backwards
but it seems to fit. Maybe someone can tell us who's right.

Subject: Floorboard rails/police sidestand


 Going back through the topic archives I understand that crash bars go on
before floorboard rails. Does anyone have a closeup picture of a
floorboad
setup with a police crashbar. I couldn't get the rail to fit flush with
the
 crashbar, so I shimmed it with a few washers. Now the problem is that
my
exhaust pipe doesn't want to fit right because it hits the rail (the
shimming pushed the rail left into the path of where the pipe goes
through
the sidestand bracket.) Should I brake out the angle grinder and take a
piece of the sidestand bracket so the rails sit flush? Thoughts?

Thanks fellas,
Chris
