MC Enterprises Canyon Cages Install Notes

[Ghost Rider 2]

  Somewhere in that nightmare thread, I think someone said even with the cut in fairing you still have to pull cages to run the valves??   I have no idea, never got enough miles to run valves.  Sold my 08 at 16,000 and the new one has 15,000 on it.  But I will go with the blue lock tight.

Or you could have left them on the shelf in the garage so you didn't have to worry about it. 

  That is great advise.  Where were you before I started pulling plastic?  LOL

  I just want to get this thing buttoned up.  Made several changes to it since Jan 1st. Only have a couple hundred miles on it and too many hours of work.  I want to ride this thing.

Just did a CC install on a 2012 yesterday. Took about 1/2 hour total with 2 of us working it. Had no problems what so ever. Used a 2' breaker bar with Craftsman 3/8 drive hex socket and they came right out. Put the new bolts in with blue loctite. Easy peazy.

Glad I didn't read any of these threads before I installed mine.  Of course none of these existed since I got in on the original group buy.  I don't recall having any issues with my install, but then again I have installed tip over bars on many bikes before the Concours.  I install the bars and then never tip over.  That is my philosophy and I am sticking to it.

I have the Mondo lights and "eham, cough cough", Kuryakyn Highway Pegs mounted on mine.

I'm going to install my cages tomorrow and I need the torque spec for the front motor mount and rear mount on a 2012 connie,i read the past posts and i got 2 different torque specs.This might help some of the riders wanting to install canyon cages,I did a 200 mile ride today and when I got home I pulled the bike up on to its center stand and got my ratchet out and Hex bit and the front motor mount  bolts came right out.so I'm guessing that the heat from the 200 mile ride made the the lock tight soften up.
