I am feeling really dumb for saying this but i cannot get the handguards mounted. I have a stock set up and i am woundering if anyone can tell me what i need to get those suckers on. Also pics would be great.

I got mine mounted, but the left one has to belower than the right one or else the clutch lever is way too high. We really need to get rid of the blob to make them fit right.

Can you show any pictures of what your mounts look like please?

on the throttle side you will have to grind off that tab on the throttle that keeps the space between the throttle and the brake perch, on the clutch side the mount will fit between the switches and the clutch perch just have to trim away some of the rubber boot on the clutch lever, and make sure you are putting the mounts over top of the levers, cables, etc. hope that helps

Yea that works exept on the clutch side because when i put the mount in between the clutch bend is short and hits up against the control pod. And what do you mean by triming the rubber boot?

Posted by: epinac18

i guess its really called the dust cover on the clutch perch, if you trim away that rubber up next to the handlbar the powermadd mount will fit between the switch housing and clutch perch without the lever hitting the switches.......i ran into the same problem you did at first

Posted by: renslip6990

just tryed again, it still is hitting the pod with the mount inbetween the pod and clutch. Do u have any pics? I have no clue why i cant get it to work.Did i say that i was using a stock lever lol?

Do i need to take off the parking break?and also did u use a block off and what are the purpose of them?

Posted by: 08kfx450r

i took the parking brake off b4 i got the handguards cuz i felt it was unecessary. you will more then likely need to remove it for the mounts to fit.

if by block off you mean a parking brake block off then yes i do have one. other then adding a little bling factor i dont think a block off serves much purpose except maybe for covering up the area on the rear caliper where the p-brake hooked up so no dirt or debris could get in.

Posted by: renslip6990

okay sounds good and what can i do while i dont have a block off?put tape on it or something lol?

Posted by: renslip6990

seems to be working wats the easiest way to run the park brake cable through and out?

Click for bigger pictures. Hope that helps. And no, I didn't have to remove my parking brake to make them fit. It was always out of adjustment anyways, so I got rid of it.
