I used my front fender wire mounts to make some custom ones. My R fenders are shaved so I just bent the wire mounts and cut them to fit so that I could put screws through the side of the hood. Works great and quick to remove. Only two bolts and the front's off. I use a zip-tie to hold the back part of the front fenders from spreading apart over the tank. (Yes, a heavy duty zip tie!)

I've got pics somewhere or will get new ones. I've seen like 4 different ways now though so somebody else is bound to comment.

There are so many ways to do this, that there is no right or wrong way to mount them. I have seen at least 10 250R dales, and 8 of them were mounted differently.

I used the factory fender brackets, with 1" spacers and they mounted perfrectly to the flat spot on the front fenders.

I believe he got a bunch of brackets from walsh when he bought the jigs.

I don't want to use bolts, I just want to slide it into place and use the strap like the stock 250r!

I am thinking of doing this... possibly heating and bending them so I do not have to use spacers.

Are you familiar with Farrars conversion? I would like to know what the old fender bracket tab is mounted to under the gas tank.

My mounting would be the pics of the red plastic Dale. I changed where I locate the rear zip tie now for the fronts but you get the idea. I've bent and lowered the front wires though also, but you get the idea.
