Yep, followed the directions. Step 4 you remove the right front engine mount bolt. Step 8 you install the new one. This was very tight, and took a breaker bar to release, but was very tight to unscrew the entire way. Once off, i tried to just screw in the new bolt you all supplied and it would not go in. looks like the engine mount bracket hole and the hole in the engine do not line up. Engine is raised a bit. I'll see if I can get to it tonight and try to get a pic, but it's rather hard to see in there.
I'm going to do the engine mount process of loosening and then re-tourqueing the engine mount bolts to see if I can get them to align.
Alrighty. Let me know if you end up getting it to align for you. I'll also speak with the tech and see if I can find out more information on this for you.
um, ok. But remember that you don't always have a choice in the matter, if you are into a turn that's tighter than you expected, sometimes you just have to crank it over hard to avoid going wide and possibly into oncoming traffic. And the C14 will crank over to a crazy angle if forced to for survival. Wouldn't want to have to back off if the hero pegs hit if that will put me into a car...
I completely agree. To be honest with you, I've been against (and still am) putting highway pegs on this type of bike from the start but it's something more than a few people inquired about. So, if you're going to add highway pegs, just be aware that they may effect the bike in a way you didn't intend. I guess it really just depends on what type of riding you do most. If you're someone like me who's a canyon junkie where lean angle is everything, you should probably realize the pegs are going to stick out, skip them, and use the Canyon Cage as it was designed to be used; by itself. However, if you do more open riding where you rarely encounter multiple series' of tight curves and actually have a chance to stay in one gear long enough to put your feet up then the highway pegs may be something you want to look into. I guess it just comes down to the rider knowing their preferences and riding environments and adding accessories accordingly.
EDIT: I also forgot to mention, the highway pegs are relatively simple to take on and off and only take a few minutes to install. One could always leave the pegs off the bike for short rides or rides through the canyons and only put them on when they're going on a really long ride where they'll actually use them.
