seat cover and rear fender installed. front fender and decals will be here next week.
On the rear fender, the factory had nubs where the middle brace goes. the Maier doesn't have the nubs. I installed the brace but it doesn't do anything. is that correct? jim

Looks awesome Jim!!!
Might depend on the seller, but both sets of Maier rear plastics that I've bought came with bolts/nuts/brackets to install on the fenders (drilling through the front side of the fender and leaving an exposed machine screw head) so you can use the factory brace. I didn't put them in the R fenders an have no intentions of putting them in the X fenders either. It would be nice to have the brace but their method of keeping it is just too clunky looking for me . . .

the fender has holes for the middle brace, im thinking of getting a rubber snubbed and bolting it to the brace so it just touches under the fender. jim

That could work, I hadn't thought of that . . .
I just knew I wasn't willing to do it their way, lol.

Trike is looking good with white. IDK about the 350X middle brace, but I leave them completely off the 250R's. Not needed IMHO.
The aftermarket plastic seem to match the '86 white. The white is different from '85 to '86 on the 350x gas tanks.

I haven't got out to the garage to verify yet but I'm not sure if that would work . . .
At least on the 200x and 250r plastic the brace "clips into" the inside of the plastic on each end and is anchored in the center by a couple half moon brackets. I would think that without the anchor on each end there wouldn't be anything to stop the brace from swiveling/swinging back and forth in those half moon brackets?

on the 350x there's a nub on each side of the plastic where the brace basically holds the end of the fender up. the brace is bolted in the middle. sort of like a 185s. jim

Yeah, I think we're talking about the same thing. The nub on each side of the factory fender kind of "hooks" onto each end of the brace, which allows the brace to to hold up each side of the fender, but also seems like it keeps the brace from pivoting/swinging (front to back) in those center brackets/hold downs? Not that they would swing free all the time but it seems like they could be jarred away from the fender when riding on anything but perfectly smooth terrain. Like I said though, I haven't gotten out to the garage yet to take a closer look, but it just seems like without any nubs to catch each end of the brace on the Maier fender, it might not stay in position and provide any support after hitting the first bump . . .

maybe bolting on a piece of 1x4 or 5 inch long piece of metal, put a rubber snubber on the ends, bend it so the bumper hits the fender in 2 places per side. Basically like a capitol T laying on its side. jim
