How-to: Install MC Engine Guard / Crash Bar

[mrlmd1]

That's very common with the MC guard. You have to adjust the pedal first with the screw under there to change it's height/.angle, and it has to clear the guard when it's fully depressed by standing on it (*not with just hand pressure) like you would do using the brake, otherwise it will hit against the guard and prevent you from applying enough pressure to activate the rear brake. Then you have to adjust it from the rear if you need to, and like WW said, screw (literally) with the brake light adjustment so that the light goes on as soon as you move the pedal downward. It'll only take 5-10 min at most to get this all right, and the hardest part is to see the light go on when you depress the brake pedal.

It always pays to read the manual to see how things are done, and if you don't have one, download it from here.
