I used VP struts on my VL. VP ones are a bit short, so if you use the third bolt up the fender trick, you'll end up smashing your teeth on the bonnet edge. Get the VS Fender mounts and bolts for the struts as they have a right angle bend so the strut mounts side on on the fender. Best way to get the right height, is have the bonnet open using the bonnet stand. repalce the front bolt of the bonnet hinge with the ball for the struts, fit the other end onto the mount and then mark on the guard the location of where the bottom end of the strut meets, then start drilling. it works out to be about an inch or so up the guard from the 3rd bolt in the fender.
