     no, underneath the bracket are rubber mounts...no metal touches the fender at all. I had intended to get it powder coated, but I have a couple different options I am still playing with. The gf seems to think the 90 degree angle is more comfortable then the 95.

     I have, and I do have a good mounting idea for the rack that would be a quick detach type. I haven't had a use for a rack yet, but if anyone were interested I could fab up a few more.

    I can do a short version too, this pad fit well with my tail bag.

    I did one from a deuce shorty bracket, but this is much better as its taller. 

    If its comfortable, its not custom.
