Hi folks,
I have a 1995 HPX that did not have the OPS option on it. If memory serves, only the field green “sportsman” version had the ops. Anywho, I was able to locate the correct OPS for it, and am in the process of mounting it up. My local dealer set me up with what appears to be all of the mounting hardware according to the parts diagram. I have however run into a couple of snags.
1) The front mounting bolts and plates thread into the OPS fine, but appear to be too long. According to the dealer, they are the correct part per diagram, so I’m guessing it’s an arrangement thing.
2) How in the heck do you get the tap in position to accept the rear mounting bolts?
I’m trying to avoid disassembly to the bare frame, and even at that, the plastic shielding behind the seats still has to go back on. Perplexing.
Can anyone with a HPX from around this timeline share a few detailed pictures of how their’s was factory installed? Pics under the fender where it attaches to the frame showing the bolt, plates arranged, as well as how the bolts, washers/spacers are organized on the rear would be incredibly helpful.
The diagram doesn’t show enough to discern the order or process.
Thanks in Advance,
Tim
