Yaffey Stealth 3 plate frame - Install ?
Installing on a 2018 SG CVO. Everything went smooth except if I tighten the mounting bolts the small screws on the back are going to hit the fender. I'm not sure if the one I got is out of spec. or thats just the way there designed. Could those that have one let me know how theres fit. I like the frame but not enough to damage the Finnish on the fender.
Thanks

I have the Stealth III on my 13 CVO King and my 18 CVO Road Glide. Have had it on three other bikes also.
It came with some think foam on the back of the plate frame backing. So when tighten the two bolts that hold the frame in place, the screws are about 1/8th inch or a little less from hitting the painted fender.

Dave,
Thanks, with the bolts only hand tight the bottom right screw is against the fender and the others are at the most 1/16 off. There must be something off with either the frame or fender. Revzilla is sending me another frame to compare so we will see how that looks. Yaffee recommended a couple thin spacers between the frame & fender with would work just have to fine longer bots as the ones supplied are barely long enough as is.

Glad you got it mounted.
I have never had an issue. Put that frame on my 12, then one on my 13. Then one on my 17, and now one on my 18. So that is four frames.
I have always bought slightly longer bolts, as you say the supplied are barely long enough. Makes the install a little easier.
