Default Sure, easy for you.

Not so easy for me! Tried the dental pick first. No such luck. Pulled the three mounting bolts out. I noticed the last bolt coming out seemed like it was stripped. Turned out that the motor mount rubber was not aligned coming out or going back in. Tough project to do when it should have been so easy. Some days you're the windshield, some days you're the bug.

Accessing the cotter pin was easy peasy after I removed the exhaust.


But then I WAS replacing the head pipe at the time.

So I'm getting ready to install:
  • Floor board relocation kit
  • Head Pipes
  • Softbrake +1 pedal
On my SGS.......so based on this I will definitely wait until I remove both the floor boards and the headpipe before installing the softbrake.......thanks guys

That's exactly what I did. fuelmoto headpipe, mine didn't go on as easy as the video but it's on. Softbrake was real easy.


FWIW, I ordered the board relocation kit from Softbrake and could not get the bolt to start on the left side board. When I finally got a straight on look at it the bolt hole in the rear relocation bracket was misdrilled, did not line up with the hole on the bike. That's on a 2015 Ultra Low, hope you have better luck with yours than I did with mine. I ordered Kury 4588's tonight.
