I found with using my fingers that I was unable to "fold" the rear spring-loaded brackets on the mounting rack over the mounting hardware points in the rear on either side. I made sure they were lined up correctly and instead, I gently put downward pressure on the top of the tour box and they snapped in place.

it's not the "side to side" fit thats wrong, if all I had to do was squeeze the bracket to get the correct fit, No Problem, easy enough fix. The Problem is the dimension from the front mount to the rear mount is short by 1/8 - 3/16 of an inch, like I said I have already cracked both plastic bushings, I'm just going to keep cracking them and take them back for warranty until they get sick of me and do something about it.

BTW, which plastic bushing are you refering to (that you have cracked)?

Thats what I thought too. It was a LENGTH issue. But by spreading the bracket (widthwise) just a hair, (less than 1/16} mine slipped right into place. I know it doesn't sound like it makes sense, but try it before you give up.

Did you crack the rear one or the front one? Im assuming the rear one? Cause if you cracked the FRONT one, your problem is your trying to force the bracket on the wrong mounting post. The front goes on the plain metal (inner) post.
Not trying to insult your intelligence, its just I've seen that mistake made before on 09 bikes, twice in fact. (still cant figure out how they managed to get it ON the outer front posts)
