I installed this kit today on my Nightster and found the left side must be done first. The included stud with the nut in the middle for the turn signal stalk is 1/4" longer on the fender side to make up for the thickness of the adapter plate. Then when removing the right side, replace the stud with the one that was on the left side as it is 1/4" longer. Measure these, it's true. Instead of the basic nuts included with the kit I chose nylon lock nuts just for an added ounce of security. If you have a Nightster or a Low model sportster I advise to lift the bike 4-6" and remove the bottom shock bolts to allow the swingarm to drop and give plenty of room to work with all the fasteners. Lastly, I bought a Nitecore TIP2 flashlight with a magnetic base. It is the most awesome, tight space, flashlight for working on bikes.
@@WhisperingScythe got mine from “lets cruise”, exactly the same product , absolutely loving it ! Your installation video helped me a lot , thanks buddy !
Thank you for this. Just bought one and thought instructions would be included, but no. Your video is excellent. Would you know what the long bolt with the nut in the middle is for?
That is for adjusting the angle of your backrest. The backseat rests on that. You loosen it to tilt the backseat forward and tighten it to make it go backwards. Adds to the degree of coolness you like.
