Ensure the area of installation is free of grease, oil, dirt or other debris including
wax/polish products and bugs to ensure proper adhesion.
Küryakyn WILL NOT issue a warranty on any parts lost due
to improper installation.
The adhesive will not bond correctly if applied at
temperatures less than 50°F. Do not attempt this installation
in temperatures less than 50°F.
STEP 2
Install the supplied foam adhesive pads on the inner surfaces of the
covers as shown in PIC 1. Do not remove the inward facing paper from
the pads adhered to the lower legs of the cover, as the cover should not
be “stuck” to the frame. The pads are meant as an anti-vibration device.
STEP 3 Remove the stock 5/16”–18 fastener securing the front of the fuel tank
on the right side.
PROCEDURE FOR ‘98-’05
STEP 4 Hold the right side cover in place on the neck and frame. Make sure the
wiring harness and the throttle control cables run safely between the
cover and the frame without being compromised. Loosely secure the
right side cover with a supplied 5/16”–18 x 1” Button Socket Cap Screw
and a 5/16” Flat Washer that the OEM fastener was removed in STEP 3.
STEP 5
Remove the stock 5/16”–18 fastener securing the front of the fuel tank
on the left side.
STEP 6
Hold the left cover in place on the neck and frame. Loosely secure the
cover using a supplied 5/16”–18 x 5/8” socket head cap screw and a
5/16” Flat Washer where the OEM fastener was removed in STEP 5.
STEP 7
On the right and left frame down tubes below the lower clamp portion of
the neck cover, snap the down tube covers in place. Be sure the clamp
portion of the neck cover will slightly overlap the down tube cover.
STEP 8 On the top of the right side cover you will find a fastener hole. Loosely secure the cover halves to
each other through this hole using the supplied #10–24 x 5/8” Socket Head Cap Screw with the
#10 Split Lock Washer.
STEP 9
On the lower legs of both the left and right side, loosely install the clamps using the supplied
#8–32 x 1/2” Socket Head cap Screws with the #8 Split Lock Washers. Make sure the clamps are
in the correct orientation so they match the tapered edge of the lower legs.
STEP 10
Slip a rubber fork stop bumper over the stock fork stop “donut” (located on the fork tube) on the
right side of the bike and secure it using one of the supplied nylon zip ties. Adding this extra
cushion on the left side is usually not necessary and may interfere with fork stop operation.
STEP 11
Starting with the 5/16”–18 x 1” Button Socket Cap Screw (tank mount), tighten all seven
fasteners securely.
STEP 12 Turn handlebars in both directions to their full stop position to make sure that the clutch cable,
throttle cables, wiring or any other component of the motorcycle, is not stretched or pinched.
ENSURE THAT THE CLUTCH CABLE, THROTTLE CABLES, WIRING OR ANY
OTHER COMPONENT OF THE MOTORCYCLE IS NOT PINCHED OR
STRETCHED AT ANY POINT WHEN THE HANDLEBARS ARE TURNED TO
THEIR FULL STOP POSITION ON EITHER SIDE. STRETCHED OR PINCHED
COMPONENTS CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL THAT COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
