What kind of problems are you having? Which Lamonster highway brackets? If it's the NBV ones, IIRC, the left side is just the mirror of the right side. It's been two years since I put them on my 2014 RTS and that was the same procedure as when I put them on my 2013 RT. I did have to take the inside panel off of the water deflectors to make them fit good.

yes...its the nbv just like in the youtube video and same model/yr bike.....but video only showed right side...... it seemed like the panel that wraps around the bottom was preventing a good fit.....the right side doesn't have the same lower panel....maybe it was just getting dark and couldn't see the correct holes..will try in the daylight. the inside panel you mention...removed totally?

right side was no problem.....what am I missing on getting around this lower panel?

With the lower end of the bracket like the right...the angle piece at the top...it looks like the bar isn't long enough to put the small angled piece above the panel....

am I seeing the same side lower mounting bracket on both sides??

Supposed to be a right and left....ill go back to the video and confirm I got at least the right correct


looked at the video...right side is correct....getting a lot of practice taking panels off however.

LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT

This is how they mounted up on my 2012 RTS.

on the left side....did it have a lower panel that wrapped around unlike the right which is open?
if so, how did you mount the lower connection?

same plastic shields on both sides. been a couple yrs since I put them on but i'm pretty sure they mounted up the same way.

Does this help?



As for the inner panels of the splash guards, yes I left them off permanently.

As I'm told confession is good for the soul....I'd like to thank Jacob @ Lamonster for showing me the error of my ways....seems I removed both tabs on the left lower panel and was trying to mount the bracket under it....Duh!
its fairly straight forward when done correctly
