Cheers yours looks to be fitted the opposite way round to how I have mine?

I did wonder about that when you put the original post up, but if you put it round the other way wont the cutaway be going the wrong way? Personally I would just tweak yours over a bit so that the c clip fits and then bolt it down.

Thanks again I will tweak it to suit, wish I’d saved my money now and just made one

Another quick question when you look down from the top should the bolts that hold the bracket be just slightly off centre from the top tube? As I can’t take the bolts out without removing the engine.

Thanks

Unless there's something non-standard about your frame you shouldn't have to remove the engine. You have to remove the other rocker cover bolts then tilt the rocker cover to completely remove the bracket bolts.

Great thank you, I had a stripped thread and inserted a helicoil but I just tried to remove the bolt and realised I couldn’t so removed the engine (was only in with a couple of bolts anyway) but that’s good to know for future reference.

Thanks

Hankikat's looks just like mine. It fits when that way round.
