3.
Locate the left side engine stud and remove bolt.
4.
Body Prep. Use masking tape to completely mask off the area on the body where you will be
working. We usually will tape off approximately 6 to 8 inches around the though hole area and
any other edges that could get bumped or scratched while working. Tip: In some locations you
may want to double up the thickness of the masking take to give extra protection.
5.
Locating and cutting the body. This is a simple illustration of how most of us install the product
here. It takes a bit longer but our end results have been more consistent with a better overall fit
and finish. We start with (99-SPOT-1012560) Shogun Spot tool. It’s nothing special just a 10mm
socket cap bolt with a 1.25 pitch that we cut the head off of and sharpen to a point. You can
purchase the tool for $12.99 or go to your local hardware store and make your own. Keep in
mind Metric 10 or 12mm X 1.25 pitch bolts (most common sportbike engine studs) are fairly
hard to find. Make sure you know the size and that the bolt you’re buying is a 1.25 pitch bolt.
With the body removed, thread in by hand your spot tool. Make sure you have the spot tool
screwed in enough to clear the body.
6.
Loosely mount your bodywork and adjust the spot tool to lightly touch the inside of the body.
Make sure you have at least 15mm of thread engagement, without that the spot tool will tend
to sag down giving you a false location.
With the body mounted in the correct location use a soft
micro fiber cloth over the spot tool location and softly tap to leave a spot mark on the inside of
the body. Be careful not to scratch or chip the body.
