wayno Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) I have to say that the aftermarket split bumpers I have seen do not work on stock split bumper brackets, the mount holes are in different spots. Edited January 31, 2023 by wayno Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 They may be for the optional 620 bumperettes. They look the same. 620 RH... 85003-B5100 bumper RH... 85203-B5101 bracket, Y shape two piece bolted together 521 RH... 85003-14900 bumper RH... 85203-B0400 bracket, one piece Y shape Quote Link to comment

I make my own mount brackets now for obvious reasons although it might not be obvious to you, different frame. Edited January 31, 2023 by wayno 1 Quote Link to comment

rolemodelrick Posted January 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Thanks all. Ya I think making my own is the key. I’ll post finished product Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 The brackets I made were simple, they would not stop anything except maybe a shopping cart, but they have been on my 520 for at least 10 years, I believe I used an "L" shaped bracket made with 1.5" angle iron and used shock rubber between the brackets and bumpers, I mounted them as high as I could as I thought they looked better than having a lot of air between the bumper and taillight. qgc1HQTQ.html Quote Link to comment
