Hyde TAPPED BAR END HAND GUARD Installation Instructions

1. Cut hand grips to expose bar hole. **If necessary, loosen the throttle housing, slide it away from the bar and off the end. Loosen the bar controls to move them also.
2. Tap the handlebar ends for threaded inserts using WD-40 or equivalent for a lubricant, run a 5/8" x 11"tap in the end of your aluminum bar 1-1/8". Keep tap centered. If tap binds, back it out, blow out the shavings every half turn and continue to 1-1/8" into the bar end.
3. Screw in the threaded insert until recessed just inside the bar 1/32" with an 8 mm hex wrench until snug, dab of Loctite® is OK. ** CAUTION over tightening could swell the throttle diameter irreversibly.
4. Align clamp with bar and attach other side of clamp.

      **Due to the wide variety of bar bends available, the clamp may not fit flush on certain handle bars. If this occurs, put hand guard bar in a vice. Protect the bar with a soft cloth preventing the bar from touching the vice. Bend bar into position and check until clamp fits correctly.

   **NOTE: While tightening the clamp, it will also pull the hand guard bar towards the bar.
