Opsætning og installation
Follow these steps carefully for proper installation of the crash pad kit.

Step 2: Remove Existing Bolts (if applicable)
Depending on your motorcycle's configuration, you may need to remove existing engine mounting bolts or frame bolts. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific torque values and procedures for these bolts. Remove one bolt at a time to maintain engine alignment.
Step 3: Install Mounting Brackets/Spacers
Attach any provided mounting brackets or spacers to the frame using the new, longer bolts supplied in the kit. Apply a small amount of medium-strength thread-locking compound to the bolt threads before tightening. Do not fully tighten yet.
