OG M8 Softail Pull Back Plate Installation
Model: H-AC-84-XX
Please refer to your bike service manual for additional guidance.
Disassembly
- Disconnect the riser assembly from the top triple tree (fork clamp).
- We strongly recommend discarding the OEM riser hardware and using the Original Garage Moto replacement riser hardware kit (SKU: H-AC-12-YZ).
- For extra caution, consider removing the gas tank to avoid any damage.
- Place the riser assembly on a blanket atop the gas tank.
Installation
- Install the OG M8 Softail Pull Back Plate as indicated in the schematic.
- The pull back plate bushings should be installed beneath the OEM Top Tree.
- Torque the pull back plate bolt to 45 ft-lbs.
- Install the riser assembly using your preferred style of bushing*.
- Ensure that the front end rotates freely and that the clutch is operating correctly.**
Notes on Bushings
*If you are using polyurethane bushings, you must re-use the 4x OEM bushing cups and inner sleeve.
**Note: For OEM risers & bar setup, Original Garage Moto recommends using a +2" clutch cable. The connector caddy (12) located in the frame under the protective boot (13) (front left of the bike) can also be removed to provide more slack to the control harness.
