The aft end of the rails have a mount that is riveted to the rail. Drill out the rivets and remove the aft mount.

The front mounts are angled. Some, like Dave West (see link on "Tech Tips From Other Folks" page), have fabricated a bracket to match this angle. The problem I saw with this is that it would set me up too high in the seat. I still wanted to see through the windshield, not over it. My solution was to place the front mount in a vice and straighten it out. When this was done, it was still strong and did not require any reinforcement.
