Default Rear rocker assembly won't fit in frame. (2008 RK)

***nevermind, I got it. You have to place the lower rocker box first and then the rocker support, rocker arms and breather second.



I've been ****ing around with this for over an hour and I'm convinced it won't fit.

I know you have to fit the breather, rocker assembly and lower rocker box all at the same time but either the left side rocker arm bolts or the push rods get in the way (depending on what side you try and install from)

Whats the trick? I'm losing my mind, here.

I was just going to suggest that you put the lower in first. I don't know if the 09 and up frame has the same issue as I have only put adjustable pushrods in and cut out the old ones so I didn't touch the top end. First 07 I did had me scratching my head for a bit. Beer helps. Glad you got it sorted.

There seems to be more clearance on my 2012 vs. my wife's 2006 as it was considerably easier to remove and install the rear rocker assembly on my bike.
