This steering stopper fits the 39mm Narrow Glide front forks of the Sportster. The stopper mounts on the stem and is secured with the stock bolt and the included block. It's available for Sportster ('88-'03) and ('04-'14) models.
Following the original steps, this page walks you through preparing the stopper, fitting it to the stem, setting the block, and final tightening.
01 Installing the steering stopper
-
Lay out the included steering stopper (remove the block first).
-
Fit it to the stem as shown in the diagram. Center it as you secure it.
-
The bolt on the left of the diagram is the stock bolt. On the right, set the block on the inside and bolt it in place.
-
Tighten all bolts down.
There's a little play, so be careful not to let it shift off center.
After final tightening, always check that all bolts are tight and that nothing interferes with the handlebar turned fully left and right. If you are unsure about the installation, have it done by someone experienced or by a custom shop. For any questions, please reach us through our contact form.
