I am new to the forum but I thought this may help a few folks. I recently purchased a 2017 XMR 1000. I thought I’d do a few upgrades just to make it my own. I decided to purchase a few RJWC products. Duals, shifter, air box lid, and bumper corners. Just like all the RJWC items the build quality of the bumper corners is exceptional. The hardware, not so much. It comes with cheap, zinc plated bolts, nuts, and washers. It seems like these Items should be stainless. So I went to Lowes Hardware and picked up what I needed and looked good.
If you want to do the same you will need the following. All in stainless steel.
1/4-20X1" (4)
1/4-20X3/4" (4)
1/4 lock washers (8)
1/4 flat washers (24)
1/4-20 acorn nuts (8)
The top bolt needs to be the 1" length. Bottom should be 3/4" length. You will have to adjust the number of washers you use on the top bolt to accommodate the acorn nut. Seems like it took 2-3 washers per top bolt. I placed them on the inside of the bumper corner so that all the hardware you could see looked identical on all the bolts all the way around the bike.
The rest is straight forward.
There is a pic of one installed with the included hardware, new stainless steel hardware, and of the finished install.
