Does anyone have pictures of the lowers mounted on a bike?

I need close ups of the mounting points.

the left one has a hanger at the very top - it's like a half-pipe - and it clips over the frame. there is one bolt that attaches to a clamp that attaches to the lower frame tube. You have some play in it and I usually just tighten it up whereever it feels neutral. Very simple.

The right one attaches to the stock airbox via brackets on the bottom of the bread box, and to another bracket mouted to the tranny brace. There are only 3 bolts and there is no nonsence or "play" on this side.

My bike's lowers are not symmetrical at all. Obviously the right one is different with the air-box being in the way, but it doesn't have the same shape at the bottom at the left one either.

Sorry I don't have better close-ups at work...

Looks like I have to replace the stock airbox.

That gives me somewhere to start.

Thanks

Here's one of mine with the CF cover. I just drilled into the bottom and rubber mount it at the top and bottom with rubber bushings.

On the left side I used a cushioned strap to mount to the frame. I had to use some rubber tape to build it up so the strap was tighter. I didn't get the strap when they sent me the lowers so I improvised.

The T option takes an airbox with 2 additional holes in the bottom plus there are 2 brackets. I'd think Buell would have 'em too.
