Default TBR on FXBB touching mid control mount

Anyone running a TBR on a FXBB? I used the spacers for between the mount and the frame but my heat shield is still making contact with the inside of the peg mount on my mids. Curious if anyone else as the same issue. I also can't seem to get the backside of the heat shields to line up with one another. Makes me think I'm over looking something here.

Buddy had the same problem... It either corrected itself over time, or he was able to adjust it. It doesn't touch anymore.

Good luck, it should work itself out (I believe).

Actually, now that I think about it... It was his brake that was making contact. That was his only issue.

Good luck.

I have the same issue, the heat shield touches the inside of the mid control mount. Not a big deal really, you could space it out a bit more.

Good to know it's just they way it is. I'm thinking about ditching the heat shields all together since I like the raw look of the pipe. Not sure yet though.
