Is there any other way at getting around taking off the V&h shortshots to get at the rear brake rod screw to install the longer brake rod included with the forwards?....

Seems the only way to get at it is to take'em off. Shortcuts....anymone?

 

get a torx bit and put it in a ratchet wrench. sorry if thats vague but I can't describe it any better lol.

 

So it is possiable to get past the mount for the SS?

 

yes, it can be done, I have done it a couple of times. Just try not to get to pissed off.

 

Its tight, I used a bit and finger tightened and then had to use channel locks on mine couldnt get a socket over it even.
Drape a shop rag over the pipes and you should be fine.

 

damn I wish I would have read this before I put my forwards on! Took me like 2 hrs to put that right side on, then had to take it back off.

 

A couple of cold ones, and a lot of staring...then it came to me a torx bit, and a 1/4inch wrench did it..Wow what a PITA!

Really really didn;t want to take the pipes off.

I had to walk away from the sping clips on the footpegs...grrr
done for the night.


Thanks fellas.

 

Yes, it will deffinately be a 2 beer job, just because its a PITA.

 

Just remember to put Lok-Tite on all the bolts so they don't rattle off and you have to do it again!

 

I must be old. My 17 year old had to tell me what "PITA" was.... grrrrrr.
