I just got my Denton Stabilizer and am trying to put it on but every where I put it, it hits the oil tank.
I need help!

I feel your pain!! I had trouble with mine too. They picture it with TWO round/split clamps, but when you get it they give you a crappy black and white carbon copy of something that resembles a Raptor and say "here you go, this is how it works". I ended up having another one made by a friend in our tooling department. Anyway, go to my photos page, I have some pictures of thhe install. I have been trying to take photos of the mods that I have done to hopefully to help some other poor soul who is trying something for the first time like I have.

Good Luck!!

Greg, isn't your yosh a full system? how did you get the two stock pipe guards back on? Did you have to weld little mounts for them?

No eRAPTOID, the Yosh pipe is the ONLY one that I know of that has threaded inserts on the pipe to install the heat shields. I think it's a good idea, I like the looks of them on.

The key with the Denton stab is to loosen the front clamp that holds the body of the "shock" and let it move forward in the mount.

If that makes any sense - it will work. If not, just loosen every possible screw/nut combo and fit it in there and then snug it up.

It's a bit of a puzzle but well worth the trouble !!!!

Gregv-
From the pics, it looks like you moved the front collar down some.
That may be the ticket!
Thanks- Let you know

That was the ticket... loosen all bolts and it goes on like a charm.
