Purchased a wishbone support for my 15 Touring. Any tips on installing, or is it as easy as it appears.
Thanks

Fairly easy...only problem I had was getting the perch nut tight enough to get the cotter pin holes lined up.
Two solutions (maybe more) - grind a little off your present castle nut, or buy two of the thinner pinion nuts - if need be.
Happy New Year !

I second what Dave said. In addition, using a small round file to round the bottom of the slots in the castle nut will give you a little more room to fit a cotter key.

Thanks guys. Just need to get it painted then installed. I do have some castle nuts that may work. We'll see. Happy New Year.
