Please Read Before Installing
DENALI products should always be installed by a qualified motorcycle
technician. If you are unsure of your ability to properly install a product,
please have the product installed by your local motorcycle dealer. DENALI
takes no responsibility for damages caused by improper installation. Caution:
When installing electronics it is extremely
important to pay close attention to how wires are routed, especially when
mounting products to the front fender, front fork, or fairing of your
motorcycle. Always be sure to turn the handlebars fully left, fully right, and
fully compress the suspension to ensure the wires will not bind and have
enough slack for your motorcycle to operate properly.
Installation Tips
We strongly recommend using a medium-strength liquid thread locker on all
screws and bolts. It is also important to ensure that all hardware is
tightened to the proper torque
specifications as listed in your owner’s manual. For included accessory
hardware please refer to the default torque specifications provided below.
Inspect all hardware after the first 30 miles to ensure that proper torque
specifications are maintained.

Hardware Sizing Guide
Not sure what size bolt you have? Use this ruler to measure screws, bolts,
spacers, etc.
Remember, the length of a screw or bolt is measured from the start of the
“mounting surface” to the end of the screw, so only include the screw head
when measuring countersunk screws.
