So, i stripped off my rear tail assembly (left the lights and signals in it) as well as the left and right fairings and front air dam.  Well, I "thought" I would remember where  all the bolts go.  I don't.  

Would someone bail me out and take some pics of the mounting hardware in the major locations.

Also, I am swapping to a Sargent seat, plan to ditch the rear seat cowl for now.  Do I need to shim out at the frankenbolts?  Any suggestions as to what to use?

Ok, so using the gallery an some common sense, I figured out that my son had put some john deere bolts in the bag of motorcycle parts..  Ugh, back together again.  My only remaining question is re the Frankenstein bolts w/o using the seat cowl.  Do I need to shim here?

That was nice of him to help you collect bolts, and put them in your box :tongue:

Suitcase, good call.  They show cowl plugs that I don't have.

There are some plastic shims that go in the slots when not using the cowl. Also a rubber "butt plug" for the back of the cowl, above the taillight.

Canuck - Thanks for the tip, I missed the rear plug on the drawing.  Looks like I will be in great shape now.
