I concur with the threaded rod idea. It's to help line up the front bracket. This thing is a bear to mount btw. Might be because my pipe may have a slight bend from when i tagged a stump last fall. My allen bolts are too short to get too the front bracket tho. Plus I didn't bungy off the kick stand and the damn bike fell over while i was jiggling the bash plate into place and broke my new, never used $40 shorty clutch perk when it crashed onto the concrete floor. Made a hell of a bang when it hit the floor. Bad enought I cut myself on something when picking it up but, might have bent the pipe a bit on that gig too. I found the holes that the little spacer things go to on the pipe clamps but I screwed up on the red washers and put them on the outside. I got a third pipe clamp w/no mounting/spacer thing... I'm assuming it's for where ever you want to put it. A piece of paper w/a few words about mounting the thing would make things a bit smoother.
