INSTALLATION
STEP 4 Clean the forks with warm soapy water and a clean rag, rinse, and allow them
to dry.
STEP 5 Remove the bridge from the assembly by removing the four screws as
shown. See PIC. 1.
STEP 6 Remove the screws securing the clamp halves together.
STEP 7 Install the clamp halves over the forks, the cutouts will face the inner
fairing of the bike; the larger cutout as shown in PIC. 2 will be installed
on the right fork, and the smaller cutout will be installed on the left
fork.
STEP 8 Reinstall the screws that secure the clamp halves, do not tighten
these screws yet.
STEP 9 Place the bridge on the clamps, so that the lip shown in PIC. 3 will be
facing forward and install the screws that were removed in STEP 5; do not
tighten them yet.
STEP 10 Finger tighten the fasteners securing the clamp halves and slide the fork
brace down the forks until both sides are resting on the lower fork tubes.
STEP 11 Tighten the fasteners on the front of the clamps until the gap between
the clamp halves is closed, and then tighten the rear fasteners on each clamp.
STEP 12 Tighten the screws that secure the bridge to the clamps using a cross pattern.
STEP 13 Ensure that all the fasteners in the brace are tight.
STEP 14 Reinstall the front fender, using the bolts and rubber washers that were
removed in STEP 2.
ATTENTION! It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that all of the fasteners
(including pre-assembled) are tightened before operation of the motorcycle.
Küryakyn will not warranty components lost due to improper installation.
Periodic maintenance may be required.
STEP 15 Clean the front of the fork brace and the forks below the brace with the
included alcohol pads and let them dry.
STEP 16 Refer to (PIC. 4), and determine the right and left upper covers.
STEP 17 Test fit the upper right cover; the inside edge of the cover will be
located near the edge of the screw on the top of the brace.
(See PIC. 5) Ensure the contour along the bottom of the cover follows
the contour line on the front of the brace as highlighted in PIC. 5.
NOTE: Make sure that there is clearance between the fork and the cover.
STEP 18 Using the back of your fingernail, rub the adhesive backing
on the bottom of the contour to activate the catalyst.
ATTENTION! Ensure the area of installation is free of grease, oil, dirt or other
debris to ensure proper adhesion. Küryakyn WILL NOT warranty
any parts lost due to improper installation.
ATTENTION! The adhesive will not bond correctly if applied at temperatures less than 50°F.
Do not attempt this installation in temperatures less than 50°F.
