I ran into a mounting issue with a rear fender I recently picked up for my '72 H2....or maybe I'm just crazy. Does the rear bracket bolt onto the same frame tabs as the turn signals?
When I line up the front mounting holes the rear bracket is offset about 1.5" further back from the signal mounts and I can't see any other place it may fit. Same goes to if I bolt the bracket on 1st the front mounts are now offset 1.5" down. The fender came off a reputable seller on Ebay who was parting out a frame so I trust that it's the right part.
Ideas?

I'll snap a couple of pictures tonight - hopefully shed some light on it. |

I know the original turn signals have the offset bracket so I was thinking maybe the fender bolted to that rather than the actual frame itself but that just doesn't make sense to me. My signals have the chrome posts removed and are bolted directly to the frame.

I looked last night and it's a bit hard to see...but it does seem they bolt to the turn signal tab.

yeahhhh...I'm an idiot.
I swear I tried for 20 min getting that thing to fit. Came back to it the next day all rested and it popped right in.  That's what happens when you work on your bike after 3 hours of sleep, a fire call at 4am followed by an extra long shift of work.
