Would really like to get a center stand first also. Figure that would make it easier to work on.
Got mine in the mail today. They sure are built well and damn they are heavy.
Not sure when I'll have time to put them on, it may end up being a winter project. Would really like to get a center stand first also. Figure that would make it easier to work on.
Did you remove your center stand?previous owner did when he put on the Muzy 4 into 2 exhaust.
So you'll be riding around unprotected while the CCs sit in the garage?Yeah I know, I'll drop the bike soon.
These take an hour to put on if you take your time. Time the time.
In fact the plastic HAS to be on the bike to install the bars.How the hell do you get them on without pulling the lower panels?

Sorry,
I just saw your posting that this is a gen 1. My advise is pretty usless for the gen 1 sorry.
I went out at break and tried to shove my hand in there, yeah not going to happen. lol
Now the question is do I work on the bike tonight and try to get these on or work on my new hunting blind? decisions decisions
For a Gen 2 bike the plastic needs to be in place when you install the cage. Start on the right side of the bike. Do not loosen up the left front until after you have tightened up the right front motor mount. There have been a few cases were the engine settles and requires realigning to get the bolt holes to line back up. You will not be able to tighten the rear until you finish the left side. I istalled this with a helper standing by to support the weight of the cage while I lined everything up.
Remove rear mounting bolt and front right engine mounting bolt.
Hold cage in place and put new rear bolt inplace.
Install new front bolt and partialy thread it in. Use an extention with your ratchet to get you outside the plastics
Before tightening this up put the lower brace inplace and get the nut started on the bracket. I found it pretty simple to reach in through the top vent to do this.
snug up the bolts starting with the front engine mount and then the nut and lower fron cage bolt then go back and torque to spec. You will tighten the rear when you install the left side.
The left side is easier than the right pretty much the same process as the right side but the inside lower bracket is easier to get inplace.
Now that I have done it I could do it in less than 15 minutes.
If this gives you any trouble feel free to give me a call. My number is in my profile.
