Fender Installation:
Before you begin, make sure your motorcycle is securely blocked and strapped for safety reasons. The frame should be about 6.5" from the work surface to insure an easy installation.
Step 1. With necessary factory components removed, mark and cut the frame just behind the shock mounting hole about 1" from the center of the hole.
Use the template provided.
Step 2. Slide fender and strut assembly into place as shown in photo 2.
Step 3. Install Shock mounting bolt through large hole in strut into the shock bolt hole in the frame and finger tighten.
Adjust rear of fender up or down until the bottom of the struts appears parallel to the factory side covers and the fender is centered to the tire. Check the seat and side cover fitment at this point. Also check fender and tire clearance, loosen shock studs and re tighten to hold the fender in place and re-adjust if nessicary. Use a punch (preferably a transfer punch) to mark the front hole location in the frame. See photo 3.
Remove fender assembly and drill a 5/16" hole in both sides of the frame. Reinstall fender assembly and install the front and shock mounting bolts through the frame, install washers and nuts. Using thread sealant is recommended. (This can also be done with the fender on if extreme car is taken.)
Step 4. Install shock bolt bezel as shown in photo 4. The bezel goes over the top of the shock stud!
Step 5. Tighten both the shock mounting bolt and the front strut bolt. Install shocks per shock instructions.
Step 6. 1300 Models will require that you cut some of the foot peg bracket for fender clearance.
Cut only the sections shown in photos 5 and 6.
Right Passenger Peg Bracket cut
Left Passenger peg cut.
Step 7. Install seat and side covers, Double-check all fasteners for proper torque per the Honda service manual.
