I’m writing on this post because I also would like to know what all the nuts and bolts are for. I have most of the bike together, but I want to make sure it’s correct.

I used straps and the engine hoist that I used to unload the crate from my pickup.
A floor jack works but is a bit unstable. You might need someone to hold on to the bike so it doesn’t lay down.

Just joined and am assembling the 2021 TBR7 now. Anyone know which nuts hold on the speedometer assembly? Are there washers too? It is more apart than other builds I've watched. It's like playing tetris to see what fits where.

Hope this helps.. been designing the tbr7.com site and made a whole section dedicated to assembly. Let me know if I can add anything to help people out: https://tbr7.com/assembly/

Thanks for the excellent assembly link montalvo and thank you adb1779 for starting this thread. Both have been a God send to me. I thought the large bolt on the C tray had to be for the shock and I knew the front wheel needed a large spacer on the brake side but it sure is confusing that that large spacer's on there. Did the hawks and TBR7s always come without the shock bolts attached. The dealership videos don't even touch on that or much of nothing.

Shock bolts out just for shipping,makes it much lower .

I believe they switched over one year as I have seen some that came with rear shock assembled. The assembly guides for these bikes were barley covering the basics, that's why we created the tbr7.com site with much more info and all in one place.
