SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
LEFT END (FORWARD) WHEEL
1. On bottom flange of left endsheet, drill two 0.656” holes* (B) as shown. NOTE: Holes in bottom flange may be round or square.
* These holes will be present on headers built in Model Year 2001 and later.
2. Attach left wheel assembly at the two holes drilled in step 1, using 5/8 x 1-1/4 carriage bolts at (H) (heads down) and 5/8 flange nuts.
3.Mark the position for hole (A) on the endsheet, using the wheel assembly as
a guide. Drill a 0.656” diameter hole*.
*This hole will be present on headers built in Model Year 2001 and later.
4.Position brace tube so that hole (C) is 484 mm (19.05”) from left endsheet as
shown. Mark this position and tack weld a 5/8 x 1 inch black bolt from kit to main tube. Position brace onto bolt and confirm proper bolt position, then remove brace from bolt and place a 5 mm (3/16”) weld completely around bolt head.
