Hepco AluRack problems

OK, I just checked. Mine has about 1/4" of space between the rack and the grab rail on both sides.

Are you sure you didn't mix up the spacers? The long spacers go in the forward holes and the smaller spacers in the rear. That's the only thing I can think of that would cause your bar to be in contact with the grab rail (unless something is bent).


Edit : Here is a pic of my right side forward mount.

Is it possible to have the one on the right backwards or both of them on the reverse sides?

It's not possible. The pic he showed looks like the rack is in the proper general orientation, but for some reason that forward tube is touching the grab rail. I'm hoping it's as simple as having the forward and rear spacers switched. If there's not enough spacer between the rack and the rail, that could cause the rack to be too close to the rail.
