Get a woman to follow the directions, for men it is the last resort

I feel the same way, that is why I am asking.

1st - a list of tools required for installation - we just installed my fender a couple of days ago and had to run out twice for required tools - very frustrating
2nd - actual size diagram of bolts
3rd - pictures
4th - when installing some Kuryakyn products, the web video was great.

there are quite a few guys that do not know how to twist a wrench. So go grab a 10 year old off the street, if he or she can do it, great. If they can't, they will tell you what is wrong with the picture/instructions

Harleygoodies, I just had a frustrating experience, when installing a product (not yours) that was supposed to have "Everything Included" for installation, and then found out that two O-rings should have been included, and weren't, so double check the list of parts included against a shop manual for specific application when assembling kits.

Thanks for asking. Your dedication to customer service is rewarding to see.

I always like the line, "hand tight,do not tighten until later" then they forget to tell you later. I bet more parts have fallen off from this one thing.

Thanks for the responses. The 10 year old idea is excellent. I do not have any children though. Guess I'll get the neighbors 16 year old stoner kid...

If you can't find one of those you can substitute a global warming expert
