They don't come w/instructions. They are just being difficult to get on. I was wondering if those that had them had any tips/trick they could share to get them on.

Ah - I understand now [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Well if you figure it out soon - let me know otherwise I'll let you know when mine arrive

If all else fails - hit them with a hammer

Cheers

Gary, they can be a real b-!-t-c-h to get on, but they just push on.  Try either putting a squirt of WD-40 on them, or a dab of dielectric silicon grease on the metal prongs, then push as straight down as you can.  Getting them started straight is the key.  Sometimes you'll get a little "click" when they seat and other times they'll just kinda slide right on.  As long as they are sitting level, you should be good to go.

Good luck Dood and keep an eye on them, my front two on the right hand side came off twice before I dod the latest set, pryed the tabs a lil tighter with a small screwdriver and dabbed them with rubber cement, rode a hundred miles today and didn't lose them, but what a PITA they are. Of course after last nights postings I realized I am trying a second rate approach and now have to order the fancy azz chrome rocker box covers I saw here, this website is costing me mega greenbacks, I could overlooked the dang rocker box covers but add with the billet tappet covers and pushrod covers and I'm screwed now. Unless I close the deal on the 1960 Harley Scooter I'm workin on, then the SEEG will have to wait for any more attention for a while

More and more this is sounding like a project that should be incorporated with the removal of the tank when I install the orange spark plug wires.

What wires you lookin at Dood - Orange would be nice but most i've seen still have black boots and you really wouldn't see much of the wires so I've held off for now, unless there is a performance plus - then I'm in

They are the SE orange wires. They do have the black boot, but what little of the orange wire that you do see I figured would add/give a little more contrast, maybe take the O/B theme a little farther? [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

DOOD
CEEJ IS RIGHT ON THE SE WIRES, YOU DONT SEE MUCH OF THE ORG WIRE MOSLY ALL BOOT. IF YOU DO DECIDE TO DO IT I DID NOT REMOVE MY TANK I JUST TOOK THE REAR BOLT OUT AND CAREFULLY LIFTED THE REAR OF THE TANK UP AND PROPED IT UP SO I COULD GET MY HAND IN THERE. IF YOUR HANS ARE BIGGER THAN YOU FEET YOU MY WANT WIFEY TO HELP YOU. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]   GOOD LUCK [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
