Obviously, these are bracket only. If i can get this part right the rest should be easy. As you can see, the bottom prt is pretty much all the way in but the top is far from it. The safety spring does engage so I wonder how far in its supposed to go.
My new clamp will be here tomorrow. Still need help on figuring out how far into the bracket the upper mount needs to go.

I think what would help me most would be a measurement from the top edge of the lower fork mount to the bottom edge of the upper fork mount. Anyone able to help me out?

Got to ride for an hour or so this morning before the rain started. this thing definitely helps with the wind buffeting at highway speeds. It doesn't eliminate it but it lessens it quite a bit, moves it upwards towards my face which is an improvement. I feel like I'm getting less vibration in the bars too. All in all, a success I think!
