Pat, I kinda agree. I got mine to work ok, but my faux covers aren't the same height. Maybe someday, now that I have a bench vice, I'll bend up some stainless.
As for supporting the carbs, I ordered the carb support brace from bellecorse last night. I'll let you guys know how that goes in. Quick hole in the engine mount should do it. That would eliminate the need for THAT portion of the freak bracketing, basically leaving the side covers and the "mud flap"/tool box holder.
I get thank clank too. I was worried it was the carbs whacking the bracket, I'll check that tab around the chain...
