Heh, heh, I was smart enough to ask about them though

Little beatches eh....well maybe my stealer will quote them out of the book time wise and it will end up being cheap, given I won't go to the top of the frustration meter. [smiley=furious3.gif]

Amen, 2Lane.  I tried to talk the boys in the shop into putting them on my wife's bike and was met with a firm NO.  Figured it couldn't be that difficult, so I installed them in two seperate 5-6 hour sessions.  Never again.

Pros/cons?

Yep, I bit the bullet on these too.  I've had them installed on both bikes and I'm sure I'll do it on the SEUC too.  As I've said before, I have no mechanical ability whatsoever so after looking at the instructions that came with them I said "no way - no how".  Had the dealer do both sets, 2 hours labor for each bike...

Never again.

Ditto.  Never again.  Gut suckered in to helping install one set.  There is not enough beer in Milwaukee or the Rocky Mountains to make me do it again.  I wouldn't even do it if a Hooter's girl asked to help put them on her bike while she was wearing a bra and panties and holding the beer.  Ah hell, who am I kidding; yes I would.

wow, thats insane, and i almost bought a set, i figured it would take an hour at best. whats the delema [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

[RJ749]

Great advice.  Off to the dealer for some more chrome and payin' for some labor.

I put those little b*stards on myself.  I took out too many little inside screws on the right hand switches and it took me 2 1/2 hours to complete.  Learned my lesson on the left hand side switches and did those in only 30 minutes.

Maybe the moon and stars were all correctly alined for me when I put the chrome caps on, except for a little scratch on the right turn signal cap, it was not too bad a job. (?)  I would not be in a hurry to do it again though.

Thanks for the warning. I had hard enough time the last couple of nights installing Lifter Block Cover - P/N 18248-99

After removing Air cleaner cover, air filter, right side lowers, modifying a hex key (because front Rinehart was in the way), and a lot of swearing I finally got it installed. Remember I never said I was mechanically inclined, but pure determination and I had the job half done and had to finish, I made it happen. I'm sure for those that have done this numerous times there are short cuts and easier ways to complete this, but had I known it would take me as long as it did I would have paid to have it installed. I especially like the clean look of this part, but man trying to thread a bolt from the jiffy stand side to hold in the center piece was a bear.

BTW, some of you that I have phone numbers (Don, Harry) almost got a call for [smiley=help.gif].

Well crap, now I feel bad.  I've got those on the red bike but will be taking them off soon.  Did a major bargain eBay score a month or so ago and got the fancy billet rocker boxes, lifter blocks and pushrod tubes all in one auction.  Going to put them all on when the cam swap happens.  

Would've just given you the covers that'll come off.  I'll have no use for 'em and I hate having stuff like that setting around where I have to be careful of it forever.

FWIW, those covers are a whole LOT easier to put on with the right side pipe out of the way.

[Fired00d]

Thanks for the warning........

I forgot to add that I dropped the hex key while working on removing the front screws and it fell into the chrome oil cooler cover. Had to jack the bike up, remove the cover to retrieve the hex key. Not only did I do this once I did it a second time before realizing that all I had to do was put a rag on top of the oil filter to prevent hex key from falling into oil cooler cover.

If you carry a passenger I would have to say the first must have would be a relo kit for the tourpak, get that thing moved back some and give them a little room.  I used one from the guy below and it works great, went on easier than the Kuryakyn kit and you can't even notice it's on the bike, plus it allows you to adjust it to 2 different positions while mounted.  Ya gotta call him, he has no website but is really great to deal with.

As soon as my wife and I sat on our 2006 SE Ultra we knew we needed to move the Tour Pak back. When I read about George Anderson and his relocation kit verses the expensive one from Kuryakyn I called him. Let me tell you how impressed I was dealing with this guy! The product is great; he delivered it quick; and it was about $50 less than the Kuryakyn model, and it took less than 1 1/2 hours to install. The insructions were easy to read and all the parts were color coded. I didn't have to buy any bolts or move the amp.

Thanks for the information FR8TRN!
