SuperBrace Install Video — F6B Police Special

[GiddyupF6B]

i'm wondering why the superbrace goldwing install calls for bouncing the front wheel before the re-torque of the pinch bolts
and the f6b video does not, hmmm

Good find! I am reinstalling mine on Saturday and will give this method a shot.

I'm going to have to invite a bunch of friends over to do the "bounce" on that front end. I can't see me doing it solo...

Sure you can, Elin. Anybody can do it. Just straddle the seat (feet on the ground), hold your front brake lever, and push forward. The forks will compress. I don't believe it's necessary to fully bottom out the forks. Just do that 2 or 3 times and you're good to go.
