While at the Four Stroke Singles National Owners Club rally in Missouri two weeks ago, I saw two KLRs with the nerfs on them, one yellow, one black, so I ask about installation. He said the only thing was that he had to drill and tap the top hole on the left side. I ask why he didn't drill all the way through and just put a bolt in. He said there is something in there that prevents doing that. Looked to me like I would want to remove the tank and fairing to make tapping easier. BTW, your bike WILL stand out in a group of KLRs.

One of the screws (left top) has to come out a hole that is under the frame sticker on the right side (on a 2002 anyway), so don't be alarmed if it looks like there is no hole to come out the right side of the frame. All the holes are where Tinm expects them to be. Save some trouble, take the front fender off. I read a post that said you didn't have to , but it was frustrating the effort. Also, it helps to have someone with small hands help get the right site top screw started. --- "James L. Miller Jr." wrote:

Rubber mallet... you need one. I didn't install the PD Nerf, but I did just install the engine guard/hiway pegs (yellow of course) and they were a bit of a booger to get on. I imagine the PD Nerf design is similar in that it installs over the stock motor mounts on the front of the frame. VERY SNUG FIT! I ended up bending the "ears" back on the unit on both sides so I could get it started. Once I got it started, I used a rubber mallet to get it the rest of the way. With the PD Nerf, you've got a lot more to deal with... Good Luck, hope yours goes on easier than mine! "James L. Miller Jr." wrote:

The other option is to call your agent and get him to quote you on several different bikes. Progressive's site does automated quotes, which can be nice when window shopping.
