I did have to do some minor adjustments, but no other modifications. I did not use the base angle support bracket, but it is very solid even without it.
The top hole is for the ground and oval shaped. I went straight over from that hole and measured for the bottom hole. I installed the ground wire in its original hole, not in the bracket.
It took me an hour and a half to put them on. It would have been quicker, but because of the custom fenders it was a bit of work custom cutting them to fit. It will be much quicker next time around.
