Mike, I think I'll try your setup. What position is the bracket with the 6 degree angle that mounts to the bar ? Thanks Scooby
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking Scooby, but here's how I went about it...
Test fit (without tighening, or finger tight) the part that clamps to the lower curved part of the
engine guard... If you do yours like mine it will be on the curve. Then, again without tightening,
mount the arm and the peg. If I remember, there's very few sane choices for the angle that the
arm comes off the clamp.
I talked on the phone with Frank Smoak when I was putting mine on, his are on the curve too, and
he said he wouldn't surprised if clamping on the curve actually mars or even crimps the curved part
of the engine guard, but he didn't care, cause he likes it and he's never taking it off. I agree that
it could mar the engine guard, and I agree that I'm not ever taking them off
If you think about it, the clamp is made to fit on a straight tube, not on a curve, so try to get it
how you think you'll like it before you tighten it. Remember that the engine guards aren't symmetrical,
and you probably are... when you're looking down at the pegs from the seat, one peg should look
a little closer to the guard than the other - it won't look right but it will feel right.
Mine have been on for about 15,000 miles, never come loose or had a problem. Good luck... here's
another picture that might help...
