Question:
Good morning, I have a question on how to install the bar on the bike. It fits forward of the kickstand but then I cant get the kickstand up far enough to clear the bracket and if I try to install behind the kickstand the brake line and electrical lines are in the way of the bar...this is for a 2012 Harley Ultra Limited FLHTK....thoughts?

Expert Reply:
The first thing you need to do is verify which biker bar you have. The correct biker bar for your 2012 Harley Ultra Limited FLHTK is the B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down System for Trailers - Harley-Davidson Touring # BWMC2301. If you have the # BWMC2302 then that is the problem.
After reaching out to B&W they said that the biker bar is typically installed behind the kickstand. The kickstand then needs to go up and over the bracket, so you need to pull it up and over the bar. If you can verify which biker bar you have I can help you troubleshoot further.
