Cabbage Cutter Brackets

[flhghost]

I have a 57 Panhead with an original Cabbage Cutter style rear bumper.
Does anyone know where I can get or look at a PHOTO of the two little brackets that go on either side of the center bracket.
I have a couple brackets someone gave me but they don't quite work and need to be bent or tossed.
A snapshot of a correct setup would really be helpful.
I like the look of the bumper alot but it vibrates like crazy.
Thank You, Steve

Original style? Do you know who's it actually is? H-D or aftermarket?

Thank You for your interest Chris. I went to a meet last weekend and saw 4 of these bumpers. All 4 had a different set-up.
I just thought for sure one of you had a correct photo of one of these bumpers installed.
Thanx, Steve

Here it is shown in the 1957 accessory cataloge.

They must have been influenced by late '50s auto style radiator grills and other weird stuff like that. Because I don't think LSD was invented yet, was it? Of course they were handy for making sauerkraut along the road....

Thanx for the help but what I was looking for was a Photograph. I have the catalog pictures.
I will make it work. Thanx again

Hold on, Steve!!!

I have been gone and couldn't get to this when I originally saw this post. These pics show a split piece of fuel line wrapped around the rear stand's cross brace bar - held with a tie wrap. Fixed my rattle.
Hope the pics help.

These are not all from the same bike, but I'm not sure what your trying to see. these first two are 49's and just have the bumpers. It's easier to see the rails I think.





This last one will make cole slaw for ya. It's on a 51.

All kinds of pics now.... Here's a couple more from Ken S.

I appreciate all the feedback.
I ended up making a couple peices out of 1/8" flat stock and screwed the original spring steel to them.It's good and solid now.
If I could figure out how to post pictures I would.
Thanx again
