Tools & Supplies Required

  • Screw-style jack or motorcycle lift (to raise rear of bike)

  • Allen (hex) wrenches / socket set

  • Torque wrench (recommended)

  • Standard hand tools

Safety / Pre-Installation Notes

  1. Use the jack or lift to raise the rear of the motorcycle slightly, so that the rear wheel is not supporting weight. This relieves tension on the swingarm during installation.

  2. Work on a flat, stable surface with the bike secured.

Step 1 – Primary (Left) Side Mounting

  1. Locate the swingarm pivot block on the primary (drive) side.

  2. Remove its two factory bolts, one at a time.

  3. Replace each factory bolt (one at a time) with the supplied 7/16" socket head cap screws and small outer-diameter washers from the kit.

    • Begin threading in the new bolt before fully removing the second factory bolt to preserve alignment.

  4. Once both new bolts are in place, torque them to spec (or snug securely).

Step 2 – Attach Crash Bar Assembly to Frame (Pipe Side & Peg Mounts)

  1. On the pipe (exhaust) side, locate the point where the subframe meets the main chassis.  On some models the side cover will need to be removed to access this bolt.

  2. Remove the factory bolt at this location.

  3. Assemble and install hardware in this order:

    • Chassis → Aluminum Spacer → Crash Bar Mounting Plate → 3/8" Washer → Hex Head Bolt

  4. At the upper and lower passenger peg mount locations, install the supplied socket head cap screws with washers to secure the crash bar’s mounting tabs.

  5. Ensure the crash bar sits properly aligned on both sides and is flush against the frame.

  6. Tighten all newly installed bolts securely.

Step 3 – Final Check & Lowering

  • Verify that all bolts are torqued and fully tightened.

  • Remove the jack or lift, letting the bike rest on its own weight.

  • Inspect and confirm that there is proper clearance between the crash bar, exhaust, rear wheel, and passenger pegs.

  • Make sure there is no interference with other components when the bike is at full suspension travel.
