Install Front Fender Bolts/Nuts

After installing front fender bolts be sure to put on the chrome lock nut/caps for the finishing touch (if available).  Notice the chrome valve cap on the cylinder head in the back ground (included) - Very nice!!

Accessing the Battery Box

Carefully unsnap the cover to expose battery box and connect the included 6V sealed battery.  The cover is held in place with rubber grommets.  This cover is painted black from the factory.  Notice the chrome shocks and fuel tank graphics! 2004 Note: 12V systems have a larger battery and electrical system and thus do not have a plastic cover plate so ignore this if you have electric start.

Connect the Battery

Notice the high quality sealed 6V battery. This battery helps provide additional electricity when using the turn signals, brake lights, and other accessories.  Automatically charges using the new powerful CDI ignition.  You never have to worry about using points again!. Red goes to the + (Positive) and Green to the - (Negative) - Return cover when finished. (Note location of 8 amp fuse)

Install Mirrors

Next Install the mirrors now you are street-legal in most states!  Can you feel the excitement!!!??   Fill the tank with gas.. Turn on the ignition, and kick...   YOU DID IT!!  You are now ready for years and years of pure enjoyment.  - RIDE SAFELY!

Disclaimer:
      Please Remember that it is the customers responsibility to check ALL bolts, nuts and screws for looseness before & after riding.  An excellent solution for assembly is Loctite brand thread locker.  Loctite is a liquid that is applied to bolt threads to prevent them from vibrating loose.  Loctite may be purchased at any hardware or automotive store.  We recommend Loctite #242 for all general hardware and Loctite #243 for areas that encounter grease, oil and other lubricants.  If you own a motorcycle you are going to want to own some Loctite!  The instructions below are meant to help guide you and are no substitution for reading the manual and practicing safe mechanical habits.  Please acknowledge that Retrobikes.com is not responsible for misassembly, misrepresentation, overlooked details and shall be held harmless and free from any liability for any advice and instruction provided.
