Installation Steps

  1. Start by removing your OEM “cowbells” (parts 11 & 8).
  2. Lift the front wheel of the bike to allow it to fully turn left and right.
  3. Remove the engine stabilizer bolt (part 7) attaching the stabilizer link to the frame.
  4. Install the OG Damper Fork Clamp on the left fork tube. Position the fork clamp as close as possible to the lower triple tree, ensuring the shoulder on the clamp is facing down.
  5. Tighten the fork clamp bolt but do not torque it yet. Ensure the clamp can still rotate.
  6. Install the OG Damper Rear bracket onto the stabilizer link using the supplied ARP hardware. Do not torque the bolt yet; ensure the bracket can still rotate.
