This thing is a bitch. Seems simple right? Three bolts. Not. Are you supposed to remove the bolt completely in the center of the fender first? The whole bracket seems to be 1/8 too wide to fit inside the fender. I will go with some persuasion, but not willingly. Help Please.

I installed the bumper eliminator from HD, not sure if was a HD part. Removed bumper and replace eliminator bracket, no pain, no fuss. I also added the chrome fender extension with a tri bar light at the same time. Sorry I can't help with your issues, I did mine 3 years ago and can't remember step by step, but I do know it went on with no problems.

Got it installed today, fortunately I broke off the stud in the fender, taking off the bumper. After drilling out the remainder of the stud , the bracket was able to rotate down into the proper position. I replaced the stud with a very flat headed bolt and finished it up. The HD design is much better than the DRAG specialties part that I bought. I had to fight mine to get it in the fender cause of the square corners. The Harley part has clipped corners, much easier, I imagine. Ironically the Harley bracket isn't much more, I would not have guessed that. We live and we learn, sometimes the hard way.
