Default Top dyna stabilizer link correct set up?

Time to replace my top stabilizer link and when I look at the parts diagram my set up doesn't match the diagram. Any dyna owners want to check there's out and post a couple pics? On the carb side I have the bolt spacer and nut. No washers. Shows two in the diagram. On the bracket side I have a bolt facing up with a washer under the link and a nut and no washer on top. Diagram shows none at all. Appreciate it

Also there's an A B C version now. Any way to find out what was changed and updated? There's aftermarket too custom chrome versions.

Look at my #21 post .
Put up pics, there. New OEM looked just like it & mines a 96 FXDL.

Thanks Harold, I know what the link looks like but I'm looking to see a mounted to the bike pic. If you could take a pic of both sides on the bike it would be great.

My mount on the bike doesn't match the parts diagram and I'm not sure if I should get some washers and pop them on where it shows.

My 1990 has those two plain washers, which makes it look as if that is a long-standing factory set-up.

Pictures guys? I'm sure it's a non issue but I'd like to just bolt it back together with washers where they need to go. I'm 100% positive it's wrong now

I should have said as per the picture in your post, ie with a washer either side, which is how my 1990 Glide is.
