Picked up my Multibar this weekend so I was checking how to mount it prior to getting it powdercoated.
In case it matters, I have a 2009 Custom SE with floorboards, so the bar will fit.
From the Instructions:
1. Remove the horn and mount it on the right side of the frame, just in front of the fuel tank. You need to take the 6mm bolt out and use the longer 6mm bolt and spacer included in the hardware kit.
I tried what I thought was correct and it doesn't seem to be working.
First point: Remove the horn. Do they mean the horn comes off the mounting arm that holds it to the frame in front of the radiation or are you repositioning the mounting arm and not mucking with anything else?
What do they mean on the right side of the frame? Facing the bike or sitting on the bike? The mounting arm is currently on the right frame if you are facing the bike.
I removed the mounting arm and placed the spacer behind the mounting arm to give it standoff from the mounting point on the frame. When I use the longer bolt provided, the bolt actually hits the frame tube behind the mounting point (Box shaped).
So, in summary, Anybody have pictures / diagrams of what the horn remount is supposed to look like?
Another whinge: The two washers provided to be used to hold the bracket up against the top Radiator mount are very small and just barely spread across the opening of the Multibar mounting flange.
Would it be best to replace the washers with something more robust?
