Got the brackets back from plating. Ended up making a couple of spacers that will allow the lower bolts to clamp down on the mounts. As they are from HD, the lower bolt is a shoulder bolt and simply goes in the slot of the mount, but doesn't tighten down on it, allowing the mount to adj up/down. The top bolt is what tightens the mount down. My way utilizes both bolts for securing the mounts and brackets tight. The slot isnt wide enough for a washer or lockwasher, plus there just isnt' enough material in the mount to clamp down on, thus my spacers/washers that are sized to clamp down on most of the mount.[/URL[URL=http://s1073.photobucket.com/user/us1fountain/media/IMG_4735_zpsd6hdn4n4.jpg.html][URL=http://s1073.photobucket.com/user/us1fountain/media/IMG_4736_zpsqrhiqjng.jpg.html]

I have these on my 2003 Road King Classic and my 2012 CVO Street Glide!!  clean look and will not bend!!!  I see people driving 80 with bikes tied down to crash bars!!!!

These are the Yelvington brackets for the rear.  Had to modify them slightly to clear the exhaust, but otherwise work fine.  Ride solo on the road king which is why there is no rear foot pegs, but have same brackets on road glide.  Works either way.

You know you can just take two loop straps and go around the fork tubes above the fender mounts and pull down tight and not have to use anything else? Plus the bike will ride on its suspension. I run a towing business and we've always trailer bikes this way. I have trailered my bike countless times like this. I sometimes wrap a microfiber towel around chrome forks to prevent the strap from dulling anything. Then just put a couple in the rear to keep from hopping side to side.

Yaffe has some front tie down brackets that will work on E/G and R/G bikes, about $70 retail. They are a simple bent piece of steel with a couple of, what looks like, grade 8 bolts to replace the fuel tank front mounting bolts. I personally use the Kiwi Indian Bracket on my RG, it is a one piece "U" shaped bracket that replaces the front fuel tank mounting bolts as well as the upper center crash bar mounting bolt. I was leary when I ordered it, but it has now been on two bikes and is better thought out than I originally thought, and works well. IN the rear I now use the Yelvington Brackets.
Easy peasy.
