Case guard mounting hardware?

These guards supposedly came off of a 650SR. But I noticed the following discrepancy. The lower mount apparently uses a U-bolt of some sort. The inside to inside measurement of the holes is 1 inch. However, measuring the frame tube, it appears to be 1.25 inch. So, there goes the stainless U-bolt option.
Does anyone know what kind of hardware these things used? Or, who made/makes them?

Its from when Steve got his new set, I ended up buying a set from the same guy off ebay.
My bottom mount is definitly different then yours, basically the same as top mount.
Heres one more link that has a pic of robs cases, nice shot, wish my engine was that clean :blush:

If nothing else I haven't installed my new set yet and I'm pretty sure it came with hardware so I could measure it for you, may help with the top mounts at least. If you want me to dig the hardware out let me know and I'll do it when I get home from work tonight.-Brian

I have the other kind also and there is a U bolt for the middle bar because there is no engine mount there.
Also, I had to get a longer bolt (threaded rod) for my upper mount.

The only way to do it is to try both sides. I don't have any experience with the 650s so I don't know how the engine mounts.

Are they being test fitted upside down?
It seems like the end with two holes should be mounted at the triangular engine mount. The 3-point caseguards use only one U-bolt - at the left side middle mounting point.
JMK.
Not by the way the pegs were mounted with their hinge, the triangular piece also had a bit of staining showing that it had been mounted to the frame tube. I've held them up both ways, and the end with the single hole does appear to mount to the front engine bolt.
I did look at the photos from the miscellaneous auction, but didn't see anything that looked right. And they did supposedly come off of a '79 650SR
Crap. Now that I cleaned them, maybe I could sell them and get my money back. :S :laugh:
