thanks for your reply. it looks like it attaches to the fender rail, correct. looks similar to one i put on a Springer from Kuryakan. take the factory bolts out and in stall with new longer bolts. is this about right.
Only thing to keep in mind is that if you have a detachable luggage rack or a back rest adding that bracket will make it a bit harder to hook those attachments on since the groves get pushed out a bit.
I don't think it's a huge problem but may need to put some elbow grease to bend the hooks outwards a bit.
It looks like your bolts on the siderails have been changed out for quick disconnects like for a luggage rack..If, so is it a problem connecting because of the brackets for the backrest.
The bolts were changed out for a quick disconnect backrest, The passenger backrest has to be bent out a little to get back on the bike and the bolts, it make the bolts about 1\8" wider on both sides.
Thanks again for all your help. I really do appreciate you going to the trouble of taking off the bags and taking the pictures. They are a great help. Have a great day.
