PO semi-permanently installed saddlebags over OEM 'bag guards. Removal of the 'bags reveals a problem they'd obscured: the tire is evidently rubbing against the guard mount bolts, enough to have shaved a few hundredths off the ridge where tread meets sidewall. (FWIW, that tire is a Dunlop (D404) 140/90 70H, also put there by the PO at less than 1300 miles (?)).
I tried searching the forum for similar reports, haven't found anything. So - why would this contact be occuring? There isn't much space in that neighborhood, of course, but evidently others using these guards haven't had any problem. Were longer, non stock bolts used to accomodate the guards? Is something else amiss?
Thanks, and if I can be more vague, just let me know...
