Forward Control Installation Instructions Honda VTX 1300
Before beginning your installation, please note the following:
• Though our products allow for user friendly installation, Supreme Legends USA recommends all installation of our product to be done by a qualified mechanic or individual.
• Some controls may require additional components not included with your kit. Some instructions may or may not be included such as installation of a brake line or brake banjo switch, minor adjustment of shift rods, or installation of a kickstand bracket on 2000 up FXST models. (extended 2” or 3” models will require longer brake lines and possibly longer shift rods)
• Please remember to use thread locking compound (we recommend Loctite blue 242) on any components which could come loose by vibration. Be certain to verify your mounting bolts, toe and foot pegs. Though we apply Loctite to some of our bolts, we DO NOT apply any to our pegs so that you may make final clocking/comfort adjustments for your particular application. DO NOT USE RED!!
• We recommend using an appropriate motorcycle lift when possible. Be certain the lift can maintain the weight of your bike without question, and be certain to secure the bike as necessary during installation of the controls.
• Be certain to dispose of all fluids properly
• BE AWARE OF WHICH TYPE OF BRAKE FLUID YOU ARE USING IN YOUR LINES. NEVER MIX DOT 4 AND DOT 5 TOGETHER. SUPREME LEGENDS USA WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE INCURRED TO YOUR VEHICLE DUE TO INCORRECT INSTALLATION OF PRODUCT OR USE OF INCORRECT FLUID. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR LOCAL DEALER.
• Remember that with this installation you are modifying your motorcycle, and though our controls are assembled to a “stock” comfortable fitment, there will be adjustment necessary to ensure adequate comfort for your shifting foot, as well as ensuring all shifting is occurring appropriately.
