Okay, so I tried to install the fork brace. I almost broke my 3mm allen key trying to remove #4 from the diagram below.
http://houseofmotorcycles.bikebandit.com/PartsBandit/Assets/schematics/Suzuki/SU0084_043.gif
Do I need to remove the front wheel to get at the nuts underneath, or what?
Also, if anyone is familiar with the NEP Cruise Control, tell me the secret to installing that. I had a real incompetence filled afternoon with my wrenches. :oops:
ALSO, trying to install Srinath's case guards......How many gorillas do I need to loosen the bolts on the engine mounts? I pulled and pulled until I felt something tweak in my shoulder. Should I try an air-impact wrench, maybe? I already doused them with Liquid Wrench.
Told you I was incompetent. But hey, tomorrow's a new day, right? :roll:
Edited: We don't need to keep seeing the diagram.

it'll be hard to tighten those small nuts on the fender. I had to remove the front wheel to loosen/remove them and retighten them. if they are not real tight your fender will vibrate like a girl's toy when you're riding.
also for your bolts, try wd40, it works wonders.

OK ... forkbrace ...
First wheel off ... yea there is no shortcut there ... then unscrew the fender bolts form under there ... The reinstall method is better and easier for future if you use zipties for the fender ... if not anyway read on ... Get the right bolts, the stock ones will be short ... and put the axle back in and tighten it to where the wheel was ... like just as tight like a wheel was there ... then bolt the outer bolts on the brace. then either zip tie of bolt the fender ... BTW if bolting it ... makesure when you take it off that the small T washers are intact, and you might want to use a few swatches of 2 sided tape to keep the brace and fender together ... then bolt it in, then the wheel goes back in.
OK Case guards ... stock case guards have nuts that have those funky ass steel locking washers ... OH crap did I include bolts with the ones I sent you ... I dont remember ... shaZam! if I didn't ... dont touch the motor mounts... I'll send you those and some dirilled out nuts as spacers ...
Anyway if the bolts are there in my package ... OK then you need to put the right sized socket on the head of the bolt ... cos the nuts lock ... grip the bolt head and the nuts come loose ... as you remove the nuts... leave the bolts in place ... then remove the 2 nuts ... top and bottom ones ... the ones right below the exhaust ports and the one right below the round ignition cover ... and leave the bolts in place ... then take the right case guard, insert in the bolts I gave you and the spacer (drilled out nut) and use that to tap in and push out the stock bolt. Then on the left side put the drilled oout nut and the nuts I gave. My nuts are nylock nuts ... will not interchange with stock nuts, the stock bolts and nuts are different thread. You in Florida right ... OK scream for help ... someone is bound to come by from Gstwin ... BTW right case guard is different from left ... that slotted bolt hole is on the bottom ... that's how you tell ... swap that around and you'll have more trouble ... rema1000 posted some tips and pics ... worth checking that post as well ..
Cool.
Srinath.

Srinath, if you're referring to the ~11" long studs as bolts, yes you sent me bolts. I've got a mighty stack of washers here for spacers. I did already read rema1000's post, but I couldn't do much about it not being able to budge the present bolts.
This is something I call 'The Grady Factor'. Every time I pick up a tool, whatever task I attempt will take 3 times as long, or have some sort of unintended consequence.
Example: Trying to mount my Givi windscreen. Should take a mentally competent person with both arms approximately 15 minutes. I started at 11:30pm. Open package. Try to decipher directions--line drawings and Italian text. My command of written Italian is mighty sketchy. Look at parts. Realize I don't have appropriately sized metric allen wrenches. Go to bed. Next day, buy allen wrenches. Spend 10 minutes assembling brackets. Go to loosen the bolts holding the headlight bucket to the bracket on the frame. Unloosen one bolt too far, hear nut plink inside headlight bucket. Completely disassemble bucket to retrieve nut, reassemble. Mount windscreen. Total elapsed time: 16 hours 45 minutes.
It's frustrating, but totally not surprising. It should be fun installing my Progressive fork springs, replacing brake pads/rotors/lines, rejetting my carbs, and adjusting my valves. Makes me glad my truck is in good shape.

And when you have to replace tose bolts for the fender anyhow go ahead and install something sensible there, like plain allen or hex bolts.
A big part of your problem stems from the fact they have used those nice looking shiny flat tops there. These use an allen key one size smaller than standard, yet have a head that is larger. Which makes for more torque needed. But less torque avaialable.
You are really better off loosening the nuts below the fender and just holding the bolts with that small allen key, but as Srinath said, no shortcuts there.
Unfortunately when loosening the outer screws there's no trick available like getting to the nuts. Kinda hard to twist the fork around the bolt. WD-40 and a good rap on the key (but be careful not to hit the fork tube in the process.)

Actually, the outside bolts weren't any problem. That was solved with an 8mm socket on my ratchet and a liberal application of grunting. Didn't even whack the fork tubes.
Still can't figure out the cruise control. I'll see if anyone I know has a digital camera I can borrow, and show you guys the problem areas.

Okay, so today I rode over to my dad's house to get an extra set of hands.
Case savers: No problems. Just needed someone else to hold a wrench on the nut so I could use both hands on a wrench on the head to grunt the bolts out.
Fork brace: Have to take the front wheel off. That's not so bad. Brace went on with no issues. Putting the wheel back on was a bit of juggling, trying to get the disc inbetween the brake pads. I even got that right, judging from the fact that the brakes worked on the ride home.
Cruise control: Still can't figure that out. I feel like a retard. I'm trying to borrow a digital camera from a buddy to take some pics that show my issues. Perhaps Kerry would be kind enough to host a couple of pics for me to use as diagrams?
Thanks for your help, everybody. Things went much smoother today. :thumb:

Okey dokey, so in accordance with this thread (http://www.gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10252&highlight=nep+cruise+control), I bought the CC-2 (for most single cable throttles). I have a 1997 that has a single cable throttle (unless there's another hidden cable--don't really think so.) I'm wondering if I should have gotten CC-4 (for late model Suzukis).
Okay, here's the throttle tube with the grip pulled back:
(http://www.bbburma.net/MiscFotos/GStwinMembers/gobstopper/DSC00872e.jpg)
From left to right---grip; throttle tube; ridge of tube that holds end of grip; inner, large diameter part of tube; very narrow [~2mm], thin diameter part of tube (not totally visible).
When placed as shown in the accompanying instrucions:
(http://www.bbburma.net/MiscFotos/GStwinMembers/gobstopper/DSC00871e.jpg)
The 'main circle' of the cruise control assembly is obviously not large enough to wrap around the "inner, large diameter part of throttle tube" from the pic above. The assembly is also way too wide to fit in the "very narrow, thin diameter part of tube", where it would probably fit for the circle.
(http://www.bbburma.net/MiscFotos/GStwinMembers/gobstopper/DSC00870e.jpg)
This pic from davipu's writeup on the Cruise Control install shows the very narrow part better.
(http://www.bbburma.net/MiscFotos/GStwinMembers/davipu/ThrottleLock_3.jpg)
Now, if you can.......please tell me if I'm assembling this incorrectly, or if I've bought the wrong thing.
Kerry, thanks again for hosting the pics. You da man. Davipu, any input? Anyone else got any ideas?
Thanks, y'all.

Here's a thought. Notice (in the picture of davipu's that you included in your post) how there seems to be some space between the white plastic part and the Kill Switch housing? I can't distinguish a similar space in your photos.
I wonder if he slid the throttle grip outward along the handlebar a little bit. I'm thinking along the lines of what I did to get my Throttle Retainer to work. But I moved the housing too, not just the grip. (See the pictures on that page.)

Srinath said it was completely off the subject... that would have been on the subject of mounting the cruise control.
I think he identified what he was talking about by noting that the valve cover was off and that you should practice extreme caution when it is off because of the danger that you might drop a screw into the engine. For instance, you might be trying to figure out your cruise control and a screw goes flying and lands in your oil pan.

That space is there, but is not as wide. It is perhaps 1-2mm wide. How would I go about moving the throttle tube out, or the ignition box in, or some combination of the two.
There is a screw on the bottom of the ignition box, but it doesn't appear to have any thing to do with location.
Dom--yeah I caught that. I was wondering if anyone had input related to the purpose of the post.

yeah that was a bad day to take pics, I was working on the bike: doing the valves, adjusting the chain, cleaning her up you know the usuall. I don't have any idea why yours dosn't fit, mine fits fine. it may be just a tolerance difference with the single cable bikes.

Wow, back from the dead.
So yeah, it still doesn't fit. Sometime in the not-too-distant future, I might get some new handlebars, so I'll try it again then.
Anybody got a recommendation for some bars much like the originals but with less 'pull-back'? I'm an 'elbows out' guy, and I don't much like the angle that puts my wrists at.
Merry Christmas!

some insight into the cruise control/throttle lock conversation.
I couldn't access the link that gobstopper referred to (so not sure what was discussed there), but I ended up getting the CC-4 model and it fits over the larger ring of the Suzuki throttles - it doesn’t go over the smaller diameter, smaller gapped ring next to it. Install took me all of 15 seconds without having to move or modify anything, and works like a dream.
As per http://www.soundoffrec.com/products/cruise.aspx
It says
Model # CC-2 – Fits many single cable Yamaha with 7/8” handlebars.
Model # CC-3 – Fits many Honda with 7/8” handlebars.
Model # CC-4 – Fits many Suzuki with 7/8” handlebars.
Sounds like the CC-2 model has a smaller diameter circle, which would explain gobstopper’s fitmet issue. Not sure how the rest of you have managed to get it on (again, didn’t have access to the link of the other conversation), but thought I’d at least confirm my experiences.

Install took me all of 15 seconds without having to move or modify anything, and works like a dream.
As per http://www.soundoffrec.com/products/cruise.aspx
It says
Model # CC-2 – Fits many single cable Yamaha with 7/8” handlebars.
Model # CC-3 – Fits many Honda with 7/8” handlebars.
Model # CC-4 – Fits many Suzuki with 7/8” handlebars.
