Fitting the accessories
Mirrors
The mirrors come ‘handed’, i.e. a left and right one. They screw into either the left
and right switch gear or into the front and back brake lever assemblies.
There is a lock nut on the threaded part of the mirror to ensure the mirror does not
come loose. Wind this lock nut up as far as it will go and carefully screw the mirror
into the mount.
It is important you do not ‘cross thread’ the mirror as it will damage the mount. When
the mirror is in as far as it will go sit on the motorcycle and make sure you can see
behind you. Once done move the lock nut down and tighten being careful not to
over tighten. Finish by sliding the rubber boot down over the lock nut.

Screen

Add the 2 ‘U’ shaped rubber mounts to each mounting rod. Push the chrome lugs
through the holes in the screen and secure with rubber washer. Attach the bar to the

Place the threaded end of the bar through the bracket either side of the handlebars.
Secure with 2 nuts and adjust screen into required position before tightening the 4
nuts on the mounting bar.
