Yes, I did need to buy new bolts. I believe they were 70mm long, and were fully threaded. When I tightened the front mounts they did end up touching the tie down loops on the under pillion seat portion. But they only seemed to barely touch as they were getting tight, so I did not worry about them touching.Mellow said:I was going to remove the grab rails to see how I'd like that but the rear grab rail bolt seems to run out of thread before it locks down and there doesn't seem to be enough room on the front grab rail section as the luggage tie down there looks to be in the way. Curious how you even got it to work. I'm assuming the only think you're supposed to do is remove the grabrail and put both supplied spacers and bolts in those areas and then just remove the spacer that attaches to the pass foot rest on the left and one of the two spacers in that area on the right side?
The spacers on the foot pegs I remember messing with, but I dont remember exactly what I did. I know I swapped the bolts, the one for the right side was really long, like almost touching the sub franme, so I used it on the left side. I used spacers as needed to get the bags straight vertically.
