Dave---I am running a set of 28/29 fenders on my car. Maybe the V'd Gennie shifter headlight bar is made to fit 30/31 fenders. Which fenders are you running? I know that in the Gennie web catalog the ordinary dropped headlight bar comes in both versions 28/29 and 30/31, but the V'd headlight bar like I bought is not "year defined". and yes, I've been running the ugly headlight bolts for 4 years now, and nobody has ever commented on them.---Brian
