Default Installing vented lowers?
I am getting vented lowers later today via UPS for the 2013 SG. I did not get the quick disconnect kit because they will not be coming off. I have a service manual and the installation seems to be straight forward. Is there any secret to a smooth install or shortcut for ease of installation? I'm kinda surprised they came in so quick as I just ordered them a week ago although the king tour-pak is not in yet.

Delivery depends upon paint schedule at factory. You got lucky with the lowers, not so much with the tp.

2 bolts on the top, and the loop on the bottom. Don't over think it. It is that easy.

There's nothing to it... If you have highway pegs you might have a hard time getting them readjusted..

The left side is simple. The right side was a bit harder because of the rear master cylinder. The lower mounts interior to the rear master cylinder.

I had trouble getting the right side on due to the master cylinder too. Be patient, it does fit! If you have highway pegs, either take them off or move them out of the way.

It really is easy, and I'll never take them off at this point.
