I got my custom sissy bar in the mail today.
I own a 2012 Seventy-Two .So far I have removed the 2 bolts on each side of the turn signal bracket and also loosened the nut behind the actual signal.

I can slip the side-plate down to line up with the front holes and turn signal hole+wire however there is some sort of bracket that the bolt goes through on both sides preventing the rear side of the plate to slide down between the rear fender and the turn signal bracket. The entire turn signal bracket is loose however this guide wont budge.

I apologize if I am not using correct terms and would appreciate any advice.

thank you
