Installed the Fangs. Left side hitting engine guard.....
Did my search and found nothing, so........
The right side lines up perfect. Just clears the signal light and the engine guard. The left side taps the engine guard when the wheel is all the way to the left like every time I park it and and turn the wheel.
I've tried every adjustment I can see and short of making one or both mounting holes a bit more oblong, it seems I'm stuck.
By the way, the things really do work great.....

Not sure what could be your issue, however when I installed mine I placed a pencil between the fangs and the engine guard and then while putting pressure on the handlebars I tightened down the bolts.
This gave me about 3/8" clearance on both sides.

mine hit on the left vs. the right as well.
I had assumed since the engine guard on my bike had been on a bike previously that had been dropped(not by me), that they were tweaked slightly and thus why they were hitting. Doesnt bother me at all really though as its just a light touch when at full lock.

Wish you had a picture of it. I have the fangs on my heritage and I have an inch or more of clearance. I have a mustach bar. Two questions; what type of engine guard do you have and did you mount he fangs on the outside of the windshield frame?
