See if these help






One of the long slit bushings gets shortened, just over the width of the front fork

Okay that makes more sense. I have to cut them to get the correct part.

Nice job on those

Yeah, they didn't mention that one of the two gets cut. I used the original to judge length

The other one stays long (I believe I didn't need to trim it) and goes here




Here's the assembly of the headlights in case it helps
