(Make sure motorcycle is in first gear when tire is on top of preload plate)
The more preload the less lean you will have with the motorcycle inside the Voyager Kit. - Now tighten (8) U-bolts to 35 foot lbs. (A torque wrench is needed) Then, tighten completely the (2) suspension lock nuts. Reinstall short shock tower bolts, washers, nuts, & spacers (as shown in picture) and tighten completely.
- Only 20 PSI on Voyager tires.
