Installation Requirements
WARNING
Rider and passenger safety depend upon the correct installation of this kit. If the procedure is not within your capabilities or you do not have the correct tools, have a Harley-Davidson dealer perform the installation. Improper installation of this kit could result in death or serious injury. (00308b)
PREPARE
To attain proper clamp load, always clean fastener threads and threaded holes prior to assembly.
Always verify cleanliness of blind holes before assembly. Tightening a screw with dirt, water or oil in the hole can cause castings to crack or break.
NOTE
Never use a thread-cutting tap or die to clean threads.
1. See Figure 2. Remove and discard rear Original Equipment (OE) fender strut screws (1).
2. Clean threadlocking material from threaded holes.
a. Use a thread chaser to clean threaded holes.
b. Use PJ1 cleaner or equivalent to remove all traces of oil and contaminants from threads.PJ1 SUPER CLEANER (99878-87TA)
c. Clear all threaded holes with low-pressure compressed air.

ADJUST DOCKING POINT
NOTE
If attachment rattles once installed, docking points must be adjusted. The docking point is elliptical. When "T"s on docking point are on top and bottom, docking point fit is at its loosest. When "T"s are at front and rear, docking point fit is at its tightest.
1. Remove attachment.
2. See Figure 4. To adjust, rotate (3) in small increments so the "T" (1) is no longer on top and approaches either position (2).
3. At each increment, check fit with attachment.
4. Continue rotation in small increments and test until desired tightness is achieved. The tightest possible position is when the "T"s reach position (2).
5. See Figure 3. Tighten docking point screws (2).
Torque: 15–18.3 N·m (11.1–13.5 ft-lbs)

MAINTENANCE
In time docking points wear, causing installed detachable accessory to become loose and rattle. Tighten the fit using the following method.
1. Record current "T" position for each docking point.
2. Remove screw from docking point.
3. Remove threadlocker from docking point screw(s) and mounting hole thread(s).
4. Apply 2 or 3 drops of threadlocker to threads of docking point screw(s).LOCTITE 243 MEDIUM STRENGTH THREADLOCKER AND SEALANT (BLUE) (99642-97)
5. Install docking points and screws. Finger tighten.
6. See Figure 4. If "T"s are not in tightest position (2), rotate docking points slightly, moving "T"s toward (2) until a tight fit of attachment is achieved at each location.
7. Tighten docking point screws.
8. If docking point "T"s are in position (2):
a. Remove screw from rear docking points.
b. Rotate each docking point until "T" on opposite side reaches loosest position (1).
c. Remove threadlocker from docking point screw(s) and mounting hole thread(s).
d. Apply 2 or 3 drops of threadlocker to threads of docking point screw(s).LOCTITE 243 MEDIUM STRENGTH THREADLOCKER AND SEALANT (BLUE) (99642-97)
e. Install docking points and screws. Finger tighten.
f. Check attachment at each docking point, rotating the "T" toward (2) until a tight fit of attachment is achieved at each location.
g. Secure docking point screws. Tighten.
9. After multiple adjustments, if the detachable accessory continues to rattle or remains loose, replace the docking points.
