Levo SL Gen 1 Fitting the invisiframe kit

[chrismechmaster]

Evening all

so I started fitting the invisiframe kit to the sl all is going well

the bike has a down tube protector on it already
Is it best to remove that or leave it and invisiframe over the top of it ??
Many thanks
Chris

Go straight over it. Double protection!

 

[chrismechmaster]

Thanks that’s what I thought I was just worried in case there was any reason why it couldn’t be doubled up
Cheers

No problem at all, I’ve done it to two of my bikes without issue.

About to install this. Does the tcu get removed to install the top tube section? Does the chainstay guard get removed or does it stay in place? Any other parts of the bike that might need to get removed?

 

[chrismechmaster]

Tcu stays in place
Chain stay protector needs to be removed
Chain guide stays in place

All the best

Thanks for the quick reply! Any guidance out there for how to remove the chain stay protector?

When you remove the rear wheel There one small screw just remove that screw and the rubber stay protector pulls straight off

just be careful what you re fit it after You have fitted the invisframe kit not to snag the invisframe

So you recommend leaving the factory down tube protection....what about the seat tube? Leave the factory protection as well?

 

[chrismechmaster]

Most will say yes leave it on BUT I didn’t I removed mine and it fitted so much better as no lump where it goes over the top of the other

I would defo remove it

Use a hair dryer and it peels off in seconds

From memory, the mud flap behind the motor and above the main pivot needs to be removed. Carefully lift the flap to find the two screws underneath

Yes the little rubber flap has to be removed for fitting the kit
