Sure either you make it attach elsewhere in the rear, maybe on the shock towers or relocate the fuel tank and your away. Mounts would be the same shape just shorter aluminium bars.
I have not put any screws in them yet because they hold in fairly well and I was going to see how it all went. The reason they don't come out of the holes is that they are on an angle. Now to pull them out they would have to come out on the angle that they went in which is the 30 degrees, the...
