I just got the new front fender and am a bit unsure of which mount bolts the instructions mean. (not very clearly written and not a single diagram)
The front mount bolts are easy to figure but which rears are they referring to? The oes that hold the gas tank cover or the ones at the back of the fender by the seat?

Plastic is on and I have to sa the maier front is sweet. Great fit and finish.
The only problem with the entire installation was a broken rear bolt. First the EZ out snapped. Got a small drill bit "in behind it" from the side without damaging thread. Snapped off 4 drill bits. Then when tapping the new hole the end of the tap broke off. 3 or 4 more drill bits got that out and then a new hole tapped.
Plastic fits well and is solid and looks real good.
Oictures to follow if it ever stops raining,,,,,,,,

Even simple stuff isn't always easy I guess. But getting stuff done to my ride feels good. And keeping big $$ per hour in MY pocket feels better.
