with the front tyre or interference with the steering of the motorcycle.
Note: This product may not fit with mounted accessories available on some
models.
- Before painting, form the screen mesh as closely as possible to the chin spoiler. It should be able to easily push flush against the chin spoiler around all edges.
- Installing the screen mesh.
- Make sure the inner surface of the chin spoiler and screen mesh is completely free of dust and oil or RTV will not stick.
- Tape off the front area of the chin spoiler to protect the finish. See picture #1.
- Loosely insert zip ties into the mesh near the top edge then insert a small wooden rod or welding rod through the zip ties and allow to rest carefully on the front taped surface of the chin spoiler. See picture #2.
- After you have enough support to hold the screen mesh in place reposition the screen mesh to centre it on the chin spoiler.
- Lightly snug up zip ties to hold in place while you carefully insert more zip ties and dowels or rods along the full length of the mesh screen.
- Add as many supports as needed to pull the screen mesh flush against the chin spoiler along the entire edge. See picture #3 and 4.
- Snug-up zip ties just enough to stop movement and hold edges flush with the chin spoiler.
- Lay chin spoiler face down. Using a good industrial RTV, run a ¼” bead of RTV 1/8” from the outer edge of the screen mesh all along the entire edge. Be careful not to get any that will become visible from the front.
- Using a damp finger gently pat down the RTV bead to about 1/8” while working it into the screen mesh to make good contact with the chin spoiler surface.
- Leave enough RTV on top of the screen mesh to hold the screen in place as well.
- Let it sit and cure for 24 hours.
- Remove zip ties and tape.
- Installing chin spoiler
- Remove the top two frame bolts for the upper front engine mount.
- Slide the chin spoiler in place and reinstall the two engine mount bolts. Leave it loose for now.
- Install longer bolts into corresponding holes on the bottom of the frame then run them into tabs on the chin spoiler. Before tightening all the way install lock nuts. Leave it loose for now.
- Push the top of the chin spoiler towards the engine to line up the frame downtube and edge of the chin spoiler with a narrow and parallel gap. Tighten the top bolts. Now tighten the two bottom bolts and nuts all together.
- Make sure you have enough clearance for full tyre/wheel/steering travel without hitting.

No warranty coverage is provided by Kodlin that is due to improper
installation or lack of maintenance. Periodic maintenance and inspection are
