Installed the rear fender and tool boxes last eve. I have a question on
mounting the VR. It's been a few months since I tore the Ambo apart and
can't remember how the VR mounted. The VR is mounted to the standard
bracket that has arms. The arms mount to each side of the fender where
the top bolt of the tool boxes also attach. The bracket backing is
curved on top and bottom to match the curve of the fender. My question
is, should this bracket not touch the fender at all (which is how I have
it mounted now- there is a gap between the bracket and the fender), or
is it supposed to rest on the rear fender? If it is supposed to rest on
the rear fender, should there be something in between to prevent any
rattling and paint wear? I guess I could just squeeze some weather
stripping or velcro type material in the gap to take up the space,
prevent a rattle, and save the paint from being scratched?
