OK, the first time I tried this I chalked it up to either an error in ordering or an error from shipping. So I ordered a second one. Now either I'm getting crazy or my supplier (Dennis Kirk) is nuts.
I understand that you need to make some modifications to the rear fender to make it fit properly. I have my handy dremel tool and bench grinder all warmed up for this. But this fender sent to me twice by Dennis Kirk does not fit the two arms on the sub frame. Where the '04 fender runs in smooth to the sub frame, the 250 fender I purchased does not. Let's assume that I've already modified the front part of the fender to fit around the silencer, pipe, and air box. When you go to slide it into the sub frame, it simply stops short and the sub frame arms hit a small outcropping (for lack of better words) in the rear fender.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about or do I need to send pictures.
By the way, I have had no problem ordering after market stock 500 fenders. They all fit perfect.
