434 viewsIt seems that the locating pin on the '06 throttle clamp is 180-degrees off compared to later models. The fix was simple: Use a 5/32" drill bit and drill straight through the existing hole. Easy-peasy!

429 viewsCut the paper so you have a pattern. Tape it back to the tank, using the marks you placed earlier to property align it. Rub out the marks and put new ones down about 1/4" out. This will help when applying the StompGrip.

422 viewsPut the plug wire on the spark plug and figure out how long you need it. This was a short wire and I had half left over. Motorcycle spark plug wires tend to be shorter than your average V8.
