maxwell where and what are you using to mount your bottle??? What type of bottle?? Have done 2 on xps, mine with the 2.9lbs AL version and one 4lbs CF version.

mine we used the origional BD bracket, cut and layed it back and relocated the fuses to that bracket. Had to cut the origional fuse mount off the oil bottle to suck it in deep enough for the side panel. With the bottle in this location, the side panel will close... barely

The 4lbs CF version we had to make our own brack that mounted off the chaincase.


EDIT: Actually not that i remember, the weld i didnt get just right so i actually just took a wide punch to the backside mount of the bracket and bent in there, thus laying the bottle back further. If you zoom in on that pic you can see the relocated fuses (no cutting) and bent bracket.

Here's a picture of the holtzman kit I did on my 08. I still have a bunch of these plates laying around too if you're interested. They step off the Chaincase bolts with 1/2" Bushings.
