the brake switch fits in the top hole of the supplied block pointing forward,supplied wire harness plugs between switch and factory wires and wire tie to lower frame rail, bracket for switch goes on factory exhaust bracket holes with the long end pointing rearward,on my bike with V&H pipes the supplied bracket fits over top of the exhaust bracket on the factory exhaust i would say it likely is the same. apply brake and see if brakelamp comes on,if so you got it. I also would make sure that the rear caliper brake hose is secured to the retainer properly to the inside of the swingarm area using the factory metal tang and the plastic push retainer and ensure proper clearance from the rear tire. hope this helps

THANKS FOR RESPONSE COBRA, ONCE I REALIZED THERE IS REALLY ONLY ONE WAY IT COULD GO ON IT CAME TOGETHER BUT INSTALLING THE SCREW FOR THE SWITCH HOUSING MAY BE THE HARDEST PART.I'M 5'10 AT BEST AND NOT ONLY DO THESE LOOK GOOD BUT THEY ARE ALMOST LIKE HAVING HIGHWAY PEGS,REALLY COMFORTABLE. NOW I NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO POST PICTURES.

Has anybody tried using the Kuryakyn offset peg mounts or extensions for a little more leg room ?

I just got a new HD Tallboy seat that lifts you up 2 and back 3 inches.This along with the HD 3 inch extended forward controls and Wild 1 510 bars(stock risers) has transformed the bike to fit me perfectly.I'll post some pics when I get back from vacation.

I'm 6'3" and have ordered the Ness extenders. Sounds like they are pretty good from what I see on this board. Has anyone tried the HD version? They are chromed, but they cost about 3x as much as the Ness, so I can't justify that. The 3" extension should help get my kness down a bit.
