1. If you have grips on your bars, remove them and prep the ends for handguards by trimming the ends out of both sides and also the throttle tube. This needs to be done to ensure metal to metal contact of the handguards and handle bars

2. Tap the handlebar ends for threaded inserts, using a 11mm 12 point socket for the squareend of the tap and WD-40 or equivalent for a lubricant, run the tap in to the end of the threads. For best results keep the centerlines of the tap and the bars aligned, turn the tap one revolution clockwise before turning at least one revolution counterclockwise to break the chip, if the taps binds, back it out and blow out the shavings and continue.

3. Use blue Loctite to glue in the inserts.

4. Install the threaded inserts so they are inside the bars by about 1/32".

5. Attach the HDB Top Clamp using the 4-8mm x 30mm SHCS.

6. Tighten the front M8 x 50mm BHCS first. You want to tighten it so it’s just snug or finger-tight to allow for adjustment.

7. Then tighten the rider side M8 x SHCS in the same manner.

The clamps provide a lot of adjustment for many different bar bends.

8. Loosely attach the guards to the clamp with the M8 x 20mm BHCS.

9. Loosely tighten the M8 x 40mm FHCS to the bar end.

10. Attach the second M8 x 20mm BHCS to the clamp. Tighten both bolts to their final position.

on the handlebars, if something can still move, repeat step 11.

13. Use the M8 Nyloc and washer to cinch the clamp.

14. Tighten the bar end to its final position.

15. Attach Shields using the M5 x 16mm BHCS and washers. For best results, get both screws started before tightening.

16. Check and tighten all bolts.

Attach optional Mirrors if included using the M5 x 25mm SHCS, Nyloc nut and washer. For best results, tighten the mirrors M5 SHCS, then place the shield on the threads extending from the guards and get shields other BHCS started before tightening.

If more adjustment is desired from the mirrors it is possible to drill out the mounting hole the M5 SHCS goes through to allow more movement in the mirror to handguard joint.
