INSTALLATION
NOTE
See Figure 1 for the following procedure.
  1. Remove the screw (B), lock nut (C) and spring washer (E) securing the left footpeg to the footrest support bracket (A). Save the hardware for later installation.
    2. NOTE
    Heel rest levers are side-specific. Levers mount so the set screws are on the underside.
  2. Obtain a Heel Rest Peg or Shifter Peg (D) (purchased separately) and the left side heel rest lever (3). Apply Loctite® 243 (7) to the threads of the peg and install it to the left heel rest lever.
  3. Obtain the screw (B), spring washer (E) and lock nut (C) removed in step 1, and the heel rest lever and peg assembly (D). Position the lever assembly to the desired angle on the mount, and slide the lever assembly with the spring washer into the footrest support bracket as shown.
    4. NOTE
    Splines on the lever and mount provide for a limited range of heel rest angle adjustment.
For Kit 50227-01. The heel rest lever (3) can be adjusted after the mount (1) is attached but before the set screw (2) is installed. Slide the lever inward off the spline, and rotate it to the desired angle.
For Kit 50236-01. The heel rest lever (3) angle cannot be adjusted after the mount (1) is attached without removing them from the footrest support bracket (A). Check to ensure the heel rest (D) is in a comfortable position before tightening the mounting hardware.
  1. Install the original screw (B) and lock nut (C) to secure the heel rest assembly to the footpeg mount. Tighten to 33 ft-lbs (45.6 Nm).
  2. Obtain a screw (6), spring washer (5) and nut (4) from the kit. Install the footpeg to the heel rest assembly and tighten to 33 ft-lbs (45.6 Nm).
  3. Obtain a set screw (2) from the kit. Apply Loctite® 243 (7) to the threads, and install the set screw to the heel rest lever. Tighten to 16 in-lbs (1.8 Nm).
