Heli Bar Install ?

[Gug]

In several of the posts it mentions a offset 14mm hex wrench to hold the nut and washer to remove the 12mm head bolt. What does this look like? Any pictures of this available or crafstman part #? :confused:

Would appreciate any feedback on this, doing the install today! :D

I just used a Craftsman combination wrench and it was tight but it worked OK.

I removed the routing hooks for the cables to give more clearance to work.

You might want to look at my fix for protecting the brake line after you get the risers installed.

Gordon,

What are you referring to with the brake line fix?

Gug,

The SKU on my Craftsman 14mm offset wrench is 7776943369. It's a box wrench with a 14mm rachet-type opening on one end and a 15mm on the other. The wrench is not straight, that is, it will not sit flat. When you are securing a nut, the handle either is higher or lower than the nut. Cost was about $9.50. The Sears folks should know what you're looking for.

Thanks alot for the feedback. It and others were a great help. I finished the Heli install about an hour ago. It went great. Did it by myself also. The most difficult thing was the install of the nut and washer on the underside of the riser. I have big hands and that wasn't easy. I used duck tape and put the nut on it then lined up the washer on top of it and squeezed the duck tape up to the base of the washer. It held well and allowed me to get the nut started easily onto the bolt. It also taped to the bike with no chance of dropping it. Once it was started then I just pulled the tape off.
