When I bought my C Shadow it had original type Touring guards fitted. These were incorrect per original factory build sheet. I am now trying to fit the original style alloy guards and have a problem. Having trial fitted TWO sets of stays I now have a nice mix that sits well on the alloy mudguard. Amazingly there was nearly 1" difference between the two sets; both front and rear! My issue now is to have the guard sit square on the two "L" brackets from the brake steady plate. The rear "L" bracket is firm and square when the front and rear stays are set. The front "L" bracket is clear by nearly 3/64" so would require spacers and a longer hex screw to fix. My answer would be to elongate the holes of the bracket so it sits on the guard. Any advice and input welcome as always.. And yes, I have marked the guard with centre line and 3/4 line for the holes. The guard is coated with adhesive paper "paint liner" and has marks all over it. Nothing at the moment will allow both L brackets to settle on the guard.
Thanks for your input.
