Detailed Easy Rider installation steps
1. Choose your placement
Sit in the driver’s seat and select a comfortable position for your one-handed steering aid for equipment operators, typically between 2 and 4 o’clock.

2. Attach the clamp
Gently spread the stainless steel steering knob clamp and wrap it around the steering wheel.

It may feel tight, but that’s normal and ensures a secure fit.
3. Adjust for fit
If needed, insert the spacer to improve grip on thinner wheels. This helps maintain a durable steering wheel knob with stainless steel clamp connection.

4. Secure the base
Place the mounting post over the clamp and align all hardware pieces.

5. Tighten the knob
Use the included tool. Having an Allen wrench with the steering knob makes installation simple; no need to rifle around your toolbox!

Tighten until snug, but avoid overtightening just in case placement adjustment is needed.
6. Test positioning
Turn the wheel fully to ensure smooth operation. Reposition the Easy Rider steering knob if there is any discomfort.

7. Finish and secure
Snap on the cap and secure using the Allen wrench, double-checking that everything is firmly in place.

If you’re comfortable, you’re ready to roll (literally).
