DK Customs Clean and Cool Oil Filter Relocation and Cooler Add.
Can't do the install today, raining and I ran out of lock tite.
As I've probably mentioned before, I don't do well with written instructions, Confucius say, "Picture worthy a thousand words". I did read them, but, have a few questions. Maybe someone that has actually installed the kit can clear up my fuzzy mind. I'm also gonna PM Kevin and get his take on my ramblings.
First, is this the way the oil filter relocation mount should look? Seems like, as my dad would say, "We're going the long way around the block to get where we need to go. I'm guessing the multiple brackets allow for more strength, easier shipping, easier install ... and probably better powder coating. But, mostly, stronger. The bends and gussets make it pretty rugged, and if I know Kevin, he's all about rugged.
It is just finger tight right now, so it's easy to change.
Next, are these the two bolts that you bolt the bracket with the "C" shaped cut out to? They are located just towards the back of the trike behind the passenger board mounts. For some reason, I read it as mounting to the passenger board mount. Probably just my mind assuming they did.
Assuming these are the two bolts (the bracket does line up to them) you mount the bracket as I have it set up, I think this will fit with my CVO adjustable passenger board mounts, Kuryakyn adjustable Passenger Highway pegs for CVO mounts and the Passenger ISO boards. I don't really need them since the only one that rides back there is Harley ... and his little legs can't get anywhere near them, but, There's like $200 worth of chrome there ... and I might as well use them. Besides, who knows, maybe someday someone will be crazy enough to ride with this old fat guy ... :AGGHH: ... although ... I doubt it
So, here is me holding the bracket up to the bolts I think are the ones I use
Another view
If all my assumptions are correct, I think this will work.
Here's Kevin's stock photo for comparison
