My ideas for billet plate revisions would be

-2.000" center bore

-eliminate fillet on edge and instead just a debur the edge. (this will cut way down on machine time and tool costs)
I think they just undersized a batch a little. The ones we have here slide right over.

The fillet edge is so when your cutting the OEM struts there is some "fudge" room for the not-so-perfect cuts.

the radiused edge faces the bag and is on the opposite side of the mount.






You are referring to the chamfer on the inner bore. If you look at the top left plate that shows the side that gets bolted to the bag and you can see the radius that is cut into the perimeter @ about a .375 diameter or so. IMO its nice but doesn't add anything but machine time and cost to the part for no reason as it really does't affect performance or aesthetics really.

just my $.02

your correct the fillet is just there for the look. the chamfer is for the spring plate.
