Default Chopped fender install

Hey everyone,
So I am in Canada and I bought the chopped fender and side mount plate. I only got the fender and the side mount plate, does anyone know where I can get all the harnesses and bolts/brackets I might need for this that comes with the kit?

Oh and how to install the side mount license plate too. I can't seem to figure out which part it goes on. Maybe I need longer bolts.

It would help to know exactly what you bought.

Well I just bought the side mount plate and the rear chopped fender. But the fender didn't come with anything, I knew that, but I just thought I could salvage everything from the old fender (Canadian) but most doesn't line up and I think the bolts on the one side need to be longer for the side mount plate to install. So it seems I need that one cover with the reflector for the other side and the longer bolts and a harness to mount up everything proper.

Also, I saw a 'chopped fender' light it says it works with irons but that doesn't look like the same chopped fender you see on all the stock american ones so I'm confused, will this work on it?



mine looks like this

Looks like a fender for a dyna, not a sporty.

Modify your fender to mount to the swingarm so it has no suspension travel. Do not bolt it to the upper rails.
