A flex combination wrench will hold it - no need to put your fingers in there.

Well, it bothered me that it seems like everyone else has no problem with this bracket, so I decided to give it a try. Took all of about a half hour to get it on. I guess when I was looking at it originally I wasn't taking into account the curve of the fender, cause there was no issue getting the bottom screws in, and only a little fumbling with the tops, as I have big hands. Anyway, its done. Along with the EasyBracket standoffs which are waiting for my Fox Creek Leather bags due next week.

Ignore the stupid seat bag straps, they are gone in a few days...

Looks good, you've done quite a bit since you got your bike. I might be asking some questions once I get more money for mine.

I just changed the tag mount on my SG without any real issues. I jacked the weight off of the rear tire and stuck my fat hand right on up there and put the nuts on...piece of cake.

If you just cannot get your fat hand up there to get the nuts started, you might see what you can do with a long combo wrench and a piece of masking tape...

There are many techniques to accomplish this task...sit and stare at it for awhile and one will come to you.

Good luck!

I appreciate it, but read up a couple of posts. It's done! The issue wasn't the nuts under the fender, that's cake. When I first got the bracket, I couldn't imagine how I was going to get at the nuts that hold the plate on the bracket. But like I said before, I'm an idiot and didn't take into consideration the curve of the fender. So that's that! Thanks for the suggestion though.

Had the same issue on my rear turn signal re locator kit.
Took some time, and a few cuss words but I got it done with only 2 band-aids

Is that chrome or black? Now that it's on (after all that lol) I'm debating whether black was a mistake and I should have gotten chrome. I'm also looking at the great bike gear one, on which the signals mount at the bottom of the plate frame, not the top like ours. It never ends...
