Ferret, Yes. If you look close at the bracket, or go look at the Dart mounting instructions, you will see there is a screw hole at the top of the bucket bracket. The screen bracket has 2 mounting points, one of which uses that top hole.
I'm not seeing that hole on the OEM bracket

Congratulations, elemenopi! I can't flat foot it either and maneuvering it at low speeds is a pain. Don't let redbirds talk you into removing the RLETs. You may save an ounce, but I can't speak for the consequences.

Congratulations! I wish my Deluxe was that clean. I was wondering if we had any female riders on the board.

How did I miss that? LMNOP, the RLETs are causing your CB to feel unwieldy and upsetting the fine balance Honda built into this machine. An RLETectomy, carefully performed with an Exacto knife is your best hope.

Redbirds, you're a tormenter! Such a great set up but on a family-friendly forum there's nowhere I can go with it. Maybe I have a dirty mind as they used to say.
Anyway. Elemenopi, you play safe and leave those RLETs right where they are. Plucking the wings off angels is not good karma.

Well there was kvdreamer, then shysue2, then Dangergirl416 And maybe 1 other.

I wonder if he weighed them prior to installation. I know when we weighed the stock pipe and a staintune for the single pipe 2013's there was like 3 1/2# difference.
Sorry, did not weigh them, as that was not my primary concern. They did feel lighter, though. Mostly, they just sound great!
RonInMo also has a set.

So what is the consensus on the RLETs? Yes or No? I found a really nice sparkly purple pair for $200 on craigslist because I want everyone to know that I'm a lady.
Obvious sarcasm is obvious. You guys are hilarious.

Enjoy the bike.
My wife is also a compact person, after spending lots of money on various bike lowering do-dahs I found a solution she approves of - new riding boots with a lot thicker bottoms. ¾ of an inch improvement and new shoes!

LMNOP,
We have a 53 page thread on RLETS, believe it or not.
