My wife will be constantly checking the bolts as they had to be quite long, however it's on, straight with the quick release hardware/rack. Was not a fun issue for sure. I do not believe Vikings made these with the 2018 Street with quick release hardware regardless of longer bolts and larger size bolts. Any time you take a loc tited bolt out that Harley put it, nothing it seems to quite go back straight. LOL. However done now and does look good.
