Install Shock Pins & Wheels
INSTALL SHOCK PINS
Apply some grease on both Shock
Pins. These are the two large
pins with the “bow-tie” cotter
pins attached. Line up the shock
absorber eye with the front Wheel
Block hole (Inside Boss picture
7A
) and insert the Shock Pin
into the shock first, and then the
Inside Boss hole.
If the Shock Pin does not go in easily, do not hammer it in
. Note the black
Shock Pin Alignment Screw on the Swingarm (picture
7B
). If necessary, adjust
screw so when Wheel Block hits it, the Shock Pin holes are lined up for it to go
in easily. If the screw sticks out too far, it will prevent the Shock Pin from going
in without damage. Please confirm Shock Pin Alignment Screw settings and
adjust if necessary.
Install both Wheel Blocks with
greased Shock Pins. Then
attach and lock the “bow-tie”
cotter pins (attached to lanyard)
per the yellow warning label,
to avoid serious injury or
death
. Close and lock
black levers.

INSTALL WHEELS
Decide which side of the wheel you want facing out. Since they’re reversible,
you can select either a clockwise or counter-clockwise twist to the spokes.
Take the large Wheel Axle Bolts and slide on the largest flat washer.
Put grease on the bolts and install through the wheel hubs.
Now grease the bolt A SECOND TIME
(picture
7C
).
Lift the wheel and slide the bolt through the Wheel Block. Install the remaining
flat washer, lock washer, and castle nut (picture
7D
).
Tighten to 57 ft. lbs
(77N-m).
(picture
7E
). Tighten the castle nut until the next hole lines up and
insert cotter pin. Bend cotter pin over axle. Install the hubcaps. They snap on
and can be pried off with a flat screwdriver in the slot.
Your tires should be inflated to 32-40 psi (2.2-2.8 bar) cold (see tire sidewall
ratings). Test with a tire gauge and periodically check for your safety. A Spare
Tire is available as on option. It mounts above or below the Center Rail with
mounting hardware (included).
