    Bought a rag guard and was going to fit it but noticed that radiator is falling of the hanger

    If i will slide it back I get a gap on the other side, why ?

    It is 2008 blade btw.

    Looks like you have a bolt missing and the bracket has bent with vibration.
    Put one side on and then bend brackets until the other side fits. The brackets are as soft as cheese so shouldn't be too hard and then replace bolt on other side.

    I have checked it with SM and the bolt is only on LHS, you might be right with bent brackets.

    I queried this with Kent m/cycles.There is only one bolt on the n/side holding the rad on at the top.I even took the bellypan then the r/h fairing off to see there is no thread in that r/hand hanger.And yes there is a slight gap on the r/h hanger.Why they only put one bolt on it beats me.
