Where do you install this? Front or sides? The front seems too wide to do comfortable dips?

Mine are installed on the sides facing the inside of the power rack. While its a little annoying because I have to take them out to do other exercises in the rack if you install them on the outside unless yours is bolted or weighted heavily to the floor your will tip your rack. The inside though feels perfectly fine, right distance apart. I personally don't even bother using the bolt that came with them to hold them in place. The force of doing the dip keeps them from any movement.

It works best for me inside the rack, with the handles on the inside of the rails on the sides. I had the same reservations, but it works pretty well.

They can go on either side, so you're facing the side of the rack when you're doing dips. It's a little wider than a standalone dip station, but not uncomfortably so.

Here is my video showing how I installed and I explain how to tighten each side a little bit until they are snug. Maybe one side is tighter and its not allowing the other side to sit flush. All I get for noise on mine is a slight whistle while going down the road. I want to find some type of spoiler that can go on the front to get rid of the whistle when I am not hauling anything. You could also take them down one at a time and see which one is making the noise. Good luck and feel free to ask any more questions. http://youtu.be/QZcza0KBh9M

When I received the one I ordered it was not askew. Prior to installing it, I would suggest setting it on a surface where the main body is level and locking the rear access panel. Is there any gaps? If so, I would want to do an exchange. It could leak in rainy weather.

You can just install these alone however take into consideration the factory stance is much taller. These will lower the rear of the bike 2-4" depending on the model. Mine was 4". Leaving the front with stock springs will work but make the front appear taller for sure and give it a raked out look. If you want to lower the front to make the bike appear more level then it's all a matter of your own taste. Function and geometry won't be affected by lowering the rear alone so it's up to you on the front. I used a Burly lowering kit on the front of mine to drop it 2" and level it out some. The Progressive kit is also good. You can just install these alone however take into consideration the factory stance is much taller.

Mine was for the DRIVERS side. And it was NOT FUN to install. But the motor works great.

In the manual there are instructions resetting the down force. I believe you have to set dip switch positions and then run the initial down force setup.

front of arm rest have a place to grip, but your feet need to reach something solid for more stable ride.like foot rest .

Are you installing front or rear facing? I am considering buying a marathon, but I want to rear-face.

Make sure the "L" piece is facing up when you put it in the rack slot. The rack scoop will be almost perpindicular to this area. Not sure if this makes sense but the tip of the part of the rack is the only thing that should be facing up. The rest of that part of the rack should be at the bottom of the slot. Also make sure the other end is placed in the round hole before placing the "L" shaped end in the slot.

Hi, you can view how to install the Houge Grip on You tube.AS you have tried already to insert the grip in to the grove, gently Push the grip butt end to the rear wall of the houge grove then insert down it should work it did for me, or try You tube a visual is always better.

On the lower stationary rails, about one foot down you should find two holes. The rail brackets fit over the holes so that you can insert the pins. If you have the dip bars pictured, they should fit. Otherwise, I would give the total gym folks a call. Hope this helps!

I do obliques on mine every other day with no problems. I just keep my feet in like I was faced forward and twist over on my hip and turn my feet pointed sideways. The foot bar has a really grippy strip on it so even if your feet are sideways on it, they won't move. You could also just put one foot in and rest the other on the foam outside of it. Kind of hard to explain without showing you but I hope that helps!

Sorry, we have only attached to the front of our bike. It's hard to imagine how and what you would attach it to in the back. I called the company located in Washington when I had a question about installation. They were very helpful. Sorry, wish I could have answered your question.

Pretty vague on details, however the best suggestion I can give is to lay out all parts for each side before attempting to install. If you are running stock exhaust, there would be no issues on brake side. Google image some bikes and see how they look installed. I had both sides done in about an hour.

slip in the back of the unit then attach wings on either side. it's a slip.

A riser under the front wheel will make your workout much more comfortable, keeping the bike level. A 2x4 wood scrap works just fine, just not pretty like the store bought kind.

Put the end with the flat tip (and groves on the side) through the slot on the one side. When you get to the other side slip it through the other side sideways. The groves hold the strap in place. :)
