Disassembly / Installation Procedure
1.)Begin by loosening the lug nuts on both front tires. Raise the unit, using a suitable lifting device or procedure, until the front tires are off the ground. If using a floor jack with stands, chock the rear wheels to prevent the unit from rolling. If using jack stands, make sure the stands are placed under the frame and not the body. Make sure the unit is stable and secure.
2.)Remove the tires / wheels.
NOTE: Now is a good time to check the threads on the lug studs. Check for rust, pulled threads or other deterioration that could cause a stud/thread failure.
3.)Remove contents from Bag #1. Start with the front, on the passengers (right as you sit on the bike) side, remove the wheel and the top bolt holding the shock to the frame, loosen bottom bolt allowing you to pull the shock out and away from the upper mount. Repeat these steps on other side. Next slide the #2055-01 along rear inside of factory channel (x-member). Place a sleeve in the x-member to help hold the bar in place. Place supplied link on a 10×55mm bolt, going from front to rear, go thru the factory x-member, spacer/sleeve, Xtreme cross bracket, and out the factory x-member. Start a flange nut on the bolt and repeat on the other side. Once both sides are completed, tighten all bolts.
