Plastic saddle bag carrier

#1

Post by roman »

I am mocking up the saddlebag carriers , as the 58-62 parts book. The is quite a gap between the carrier side plate and the fender support, in the pic I pushed the carrier completely to the left so I have 5/8 gap total or about 1/4 on each side.
Were spacers used? I dont see in the parts book. Carrier, fender struts, frame and rear fender are right
Thanks

Roman looking at my 61 fender strut, luggage carrier those flats are about a 1/4 then you need 4 spacers 91089-58 front bumper for example page 115 in reprint parts book then the saddlebag carrier those spacers should be 1/2 thick and used with several things on our year models

Roman,
See pics attached from my 58. Note that I have the luggage carrier, so the spacer I used was different.

If your going to be running a fender carrier/rack, install it before you measure for your spacers. The photos that Gotnoclass posted has the rack installed.
