3. Install the gas tank mounting bracket using the M6 x 35mm bolts provided with the kit, torque to 7 ft. lbs. Be sure to tighten the "grub" screw and torque to 7 ft. lbs. as well. The "grub" screw prevents the gas tank mounting bracket from rocking back and forth. Be sure to apply a thread locking compound to the bolts.

4. Install the wiper arm bracket and "C" pins onto the triple clamp. To prevent marring the steering nut cover the sides and top with masking tape. Next, install the steering nut and torque to 76 ft. lbs. Be sure the steering nut has anti-seize compound applied to the threads.

5. Install the rubber ring onto the wiper arm bracket.

6. Install the steering damper body bracket onto the wiper arm bracket using the M6 x 16mm bolt and torque to 7 ft. lbs. Be sure to apply a thread locking compound to the bolts.

Please note that some dampers feature an offset bracket (ex. CBR954RR) that clamps around the damper body. If this bracket is installed backward the damper will not fit properly. Simply turn this bracket around to install properly.

7. Slide the steering damper through the steering damper body bracket and secure the end of the steering damper to the gas tank mounting bracket using the provided M6 x 16 bolt. Be sure to apply a thread locking compound to the bolt. Adjust the steering damper to allow full steering in both directions (lock-to-lock). Also, be sure to adjust the steering damper so it does not hit the gas tank. Once this is done tighten the two pinch bolts on the steering damper body bracket to 4 ft. lbs.

Please note the orientation of the heim joint on the end of the damper rod. The offset is to be installed toward the bracket. Failure to install the heim joint properly will result in damage to the heim joint.
