I am presently 150 kms away from my bike.
Make sure that the smaller clamp in properly fitted/locked in main guard's slot??
Did you put any thick protective tape around tubular frame??
Dont't thick Japan OEM/Honda would put wrong bolt in the package!!
Thanks for the response.
I put one layer of regular black electrical tape around the tubular frame for protection so that shouldn't be causing the large gap. I checked on the left side before putting tape on and that one has a big gap as well. I think the clamps are properly fitted over the guard "hook", but will double check again tomorrow when I have better light.
The bolts are definitely short--there's not a lot of room on the other side due to the exhaust pipes. Longer may create a problem as a result.
I saw several people comment that this was a "10 minute install" when this thread was started several years ago. Hoping one of them might still be around to comment on their experience.
