Ish I went a different way with my bearclaw although untill recently I had it on the trick to getting it on is as Canberra said twist the top of back one about 1/8th of turn to right and also I used a 5 mm bit of nylon to make a washer behind the rear mount on the tank then when putting it on just start the threads loosely wiggle it in line with the rubber mount at top and tighten the bolts, worked for me. Getting back to cutting it I have cut more away cos I am getting the flip K&N embellishers when he finnishes making them and also the covers, should look good will post picture in morning when I get home from work,
oh and thanks for the link to the trim mitch is that where you also got the chrome trim from
