Tried to put it on my 450R. Whats with the brake line? What has anyone else done. Does it need a longer brake line? What is needed to secure the brake line? Your help needed so I don't have an $80 part sitting in the box. Thanx

Here is a post I made for someone a few months ago that got one with no directions. I hope this helps.
The frame mount goes on the right side of the quad as you sit on it just in front of the motor mount bracket. It is facing twords the inside of the frame parallel to the ground. See picture.

The mount on the steering stem goes about 7" from the bottom of the stem. Move it so it clears under the radiator. You have to move the junction block for the front brake hoses down. There is another hole in the tab were it is mounted now. I just got a longer bolt and a nut and moved it down a little. You will have to bend the tab just up top that holds the metal line so you can move the block down. You also have to bend the bracket that holds the brake hose that is just to the right of the junction block(as you are facing the quad) down alittle. See pictures. Hope this helps. Good luck. There is very little clearance above and below it but it will fit.

like i say there a tight fit but worth the hassle. i personally run it on the outside hole,, there is 2 holes on the steering stem brkt out side one is stiffer setting than the inside one,,, enjoy the funny positions you need to get your body in to fit it..........................
