« on: February 22, 2011, 05:40:02 AM »

I Just got my BAC yesterday evening  and found out from another website because I have Kury levers, I'll have to buy the cam riser kit. I called the company I bought it from and he said 70% of the people never need it. It doesn't sound logical to me- either you need it or you don't!

Does anyone have this set up and do I need the kit? uglystupid2

Thanks in advance.   Smiley

I had one before I installed a McCruise control. It took me a while to get it adjusted perfectly, but worked great once I figured it out. I can't really give you any advise other than to get it on on there and start making corrections and tweaking parts.

I actually am sorry I took it off and sold it. My cruise control works super but it would be nice to have a throttle lock on some cool mornings when warming the bike up a little.

I also have one on my Tourer. If you go to the Brake Away web site they have a tutorial on the install.

Do you have Kury chrome levers on yours? After getting them yesterday, I found out on Cruiser Customizing website that I will need the cam riser kit because of the Kury levers.

I called DLP where I bought them and the guy said 70% of the poeple don't need the kit. I hope he knows what he's talking about!

Thanks for the help

It looks more difficult than it really is.  I remember one of the pics in the instructions was taken at an angle that made it hard to tell what it was trying to show. Once I got past that, it was only a matter of adjustment.  works fine.  cooldude

Installed on my Standard with Kury grips and had no problems at all.  Instructions do seem more difficult than the actual install.  It did take a little adjustment from the factory tension adjustments, but other than that, it was an easy install, about an hour max.  cooldude
I really enjoy it now!

I wouldn't sweat it. Install the thing and make adjustments if you need to. That's the way my life always works...

I had the adjustable Kury levers and the BAC on my Standard. Because the levers are wider than OEM, they will not work correctly without adjustment. I never did get mine to release when hitting the brake, then the bike was totaled (NOT because of the levers/BAC!). You would have to hit the switch to release the lock every time.

I have an IS now and haven't put the BAC on it yet. I just got a cruise control this winter, so once I get it installed, I won't have a use for the BAC. It is a nice unit though, works well and looks great.

Garland that's funny because that's exactly what I was thinking this morning-just go for it and see what happens!! I have no idea how it all goes together but will figure it out. I think if I can get the piece that engages the BAC like the OEM, I might be good to go!

Thanks! cooldude
