5/8 just like the link showsDuh!....thanks
Someone called about this yesterday and I was having a hard time understanding him. Can't you just use an extender on a normal socket wrench and cinch that bad boy down? He was saying there wasn't enough room for him to twist his normal socket wrench to tighten the bolt down but I believe he was trying to tighten it from inside the fairing. All you need to do is access that bolt from the exterior of the fairing with a basic socket wrench extender. Unless, of course, I'm missing something. This has already come up a few times though so I would like to completely understand what the problem is. Maybe someone can take a photo of the issue at hand?

Do not screw the cages to the front motor mount until you get the top welded bolt of the support bracket through the hole in the top of the cage. Then insert allen bolt for motor mount, and insert allen bolt for lower end of support bracket. It takes almost three hands but I was able to do it by myself with no scratches. Once you have the front allens semi-tight you need to put the nut on the welded bolt of the support bracket, hopefully you do not have fat fingers. A gear wrench makes it easy to tighten this nut on the left side, but on the right side it is near impossible to tighten that nut without a gear wrench. I suppose one could get a socket on it if you remove the radiator hose but you will still chance beating up the fins on your fairing if you use a socket wrench.

Does that make sense?
Received my UPS gift this morning (exactly 1 week from CA). Hope to get them mounted up later, but summer decided to move in with 95 degree temps and extreme humidity. VA summers suck!
5/8? That's not metric!!! ARRRGH! LOL
You ordered chrome, correct? The chroming process takes quite a bit longer than powder coating due to the "triple dip" process so that's the reason for the delay in shipping the chrome sets out. We're picking up both today though so hopefully we'll have most of the black sets from batch two and all the chrome sets sent out by the end of this week!

Out of curiosity, has anyone installed their cages with Ronnie's Pegs yet. I did a quick dry fit tonight and the pegs seem to just clear the bars, but I couldn't be sure.
I was told by Ryan they would, after supplying photos and measurements. I will be one very unhappy camper if they don't!!

Ryan, thanks! Powder coaster let me know the bars arrived today and will be coated and ready for install late this week. We'll post photos of the finished product.
I put my set on tonight after work and there is plenty of clearance. Here are a few picts (please excuse the dirty bike and scraps on the lower panel).
