Default Kuryakyn Pass Armrests heads-up

FYI you may need to buy your own hardware... Installed Kury part number8989 last night and found the hardware bolts supplied are extremelysoft. If you install them by yourself, the angles you put yourself in are arkward and require alot of tork. The hex bolts heads could not handle it and stripped. Got stainless steal to replace them all. Works great!

Also hex bolts came mixed, metric and standard

hmmmmm.....funny - no problems installin' mine. Sounds like it may be a good idea ta chase the threads with a tap first, though..... Kury has been known fer their "hit-n-miss" quality, though - especially on fasteners!

I installed minefollowing their directionswith no problems. My wife now has an air bag in front of her (me) and two side rails to protect her. I think I've created a monster though. I love to ride but need to stop once in a while to do things like maintain the house & pay bills, she never wants to stop riding. I guess that's better than her not wanting to ride with me at all, I'll take it gladly!

I have had some shady hardware on Kury parts in the past. I agree that their stuff seemed a bit soft and their hex head bolts were easy to strip if you tried to go real tight on them. I am sticking with HD parts after wasting money on some Kury passenger pegs a couple of years ago.
