Required Tools
- Heli-Arc welder (or MIG welder)
- 5mm hex key and
- emery paper.
CAUTION: Installation of this product should only be attempted by an experienced welder!
Installation:
NOTE: Please review Figures A-E for reference before beginning the installation of the Airhead Side Braces, and refer back to the figures during the installation process.
Figure A shows the finished installation of the CC Products/San Jose BMW Airhead Side Brace for an overall reference.
Figure B shows the upper end of the Airhead Side Brace where it attaches to the frame
(NOTE: Leave at least 1/2” spacing below the bottom edge of the fuel tank).
Figure C shows how the Airhead Side Brace must clear the air inlet tubing.
Figure D showing how the lower edge (beveled end) fits the frame at the rear of the bike.
Figure E shows one of the threaded cones properly welded to the frame, and painted.

Installation Steps:
1. Ensure Airhead Side Braces are fully assembled (threaded cones firmly bolted into the braces at both ends).
2. Hold Airhead Side Brace in their proper position (reference Figures A-D) to mark location where front and rear threaded cones will be welded to the frame.
NOTE: The lower (rear) end of the Airhead Side Brace is beveled, for reference.
NOTE: Make sure that both the left and right Airhead Side Braces are positioned equally.
3. Mark the frame and remove paint in the appropriate areas using emery cloth to prepare the frame surface for welding.
NOTE: Measure and mark twice, weld once!
4. Hold assembled Airhead Side Braces in their appropriate positions and tack-weld at the top and bottom. Perform this step for both the top (front) and bottom (rear) ends of the Airhead Side Braces, on both sides of the bike.
5. Using removable tape, mark each Airhead Side Brace as either “left” or “right”, to make sure they are replaced onto the appropriate side of the bike after disassembly.
6. Remove the bolts, and the Airhead Side Braces from the tack-welded, threaded cones. Complete the welding of the threaded cone to the motorcycle frame at all 4 locations.
7. Clean/remove any weld splatter, and paint to protect threaded cone and frame from corrosion (see Figure E).
8. Re-assemble Airhead Side Braces onto threaded cones maintaining original left side/right side orientation.
NOTE: The lower (rear) end of the Airhead Side Brace is beveled, for reference.
9. Torque hex bolts to 7 ft/lbs.
