Finishing Up

Reinstall the front exhaust pipe, preferably using a new exhaust gasket.

Tip: I do not recommend torquing the exhaust header-flange nuts, as the flanges on many aftermarket exhaust systems are thinner than stock, and bend easily. Just tighten moderately. Then after your first few rides, check the nuts again.

Reinstall the right-side floorboard assembly by torquing the two button-head bolts under the floorboard assembly to 35 ft-lbs.

Caution: Be sure you do not attempt to start your bike for 12 hours or more, depending on the dry-time of the red thread-lock liquid.

Now relax, knowing your starter system is much less likely to fail you when you need it most.

Ride on.
