Remove stock brackets

..........................................

Brackets were made from steel flat bar

7 1/4” x ¼” x 1 1/4”

.........................................

note: A member (Doc) of the Yahoo Silverwing Group made a set using 1" wide flat bar.

This fit into the channel of the stock bracket, which could then be used as a

drill guide. If I were making a new set, that is the size material I would use.

...........................................

Use the stock bracket to mark positions for drilling bolt holes

.............................................

........................................

Re-install 5mm hex screws under seat

..........................................

This is a very comfortable setup. I planned to pad

the lower brackets, but found I don't feel them while riding.

This can be changed back to stock in a few minutes.

Total cost was less than $3.00.
