It rained all day on Wednesday and Thursday and on Thursday night we got a dusting of light snow. But Friday arrived with sunshine and warmer temps and by mid afternoon I went to the dealer to pick up my TG. They got the switches installed and now my CB works and they flashed the Aux input so prompts from my Garmin Road Tech Zumo 590 come through. So I'm getting this new TG slowly configured to my liking.
On Saturday I spent a few hours installing a couple other things - the rider footboard extensions and the Kuryakyn extended brake pedal. There was another recent thread about the difficulty of removing the oem bolts on the footboards and man, oh man are they ever tight. But a good bit of heat strategically applied finally did the trick. And I don't think a hair dryer would get hot enough. I used my heat gun on the high setting and even at that it took several sessions before I felt comfortable enough to completely remove the bolts.
Now except for the oem bolts the rider footboard extensions are a pretty simple install. Not so the Kury brake pedal however . . . as many of us know. I did watch a video on the install posted by Law Abiding Biker and took his advice to remove the lower bolts on the engine guard/crash bar the loosen the top bolt so it could swing forward a bit. That did the trick as far as getting the oem pedal off and the Kury pedal installed. But getting the pin through the brake pedal and the master cylinder not to mention then inserting the cotter pin took some time and a few choice words, lol.
But in the end I got 'er done and truthfully I'm glad that's behind me.
