I was a little wary about exactly where the brackets would line my seat cowl up in reference to my seat. (wasn't sure if they were DP or machined by another source...) It set the edge of my cowl a mere 1/8" from the stitching on my seat! Even if it DOES get any closer than that, I'd take the 1/8".... Looks great! Prompt shipping, good service, thanks!
