Here are some photos from my install. Its three pieces at the engine mount…two brackets that attach to the engine mount (4 new bolts provided) and a cross member bar that braces the brackets. As others have said, you need to put these three pieces together first and then fit them up onto the engine mount. It did not go in there piece by piece even leaving the bolts very loose.TierHawg said:Anyone have a pic of how the bars mount to the engine block?
Yep - pictures look exactly like mine and your comments about the required sequence are spot on.Twitch said:Here are some photos from my install.

You could weld a 1/8 tab and mount in the same place about 1/3 inch higher. Clearing the barrel shaped protrusion should not be a problem. It looks like the flat mounts should never have to come off, unless they are bent or the engine needs to come out.SpeedStar said:It looks like I may have to move my Fiam horn from the secret side location based on these pics. Looks like the brace and horn will be fighting for space.

I was down so fast I had no time to even take my feet off the pegs. I left 2 gouges in the concrete about 5 feet long, one from the crash bar the other from the home made alum. pannier bottom forward corner. Not a scratch on the bike or me, the handle bars did not touch the ground. The concrete was so slick you could hardly stand up or walk on it. The crash bars are heavy at 15 lbs but worth it. The guy riding behind said it made a very loud crash sound then a loud scraping sound, and he had his bike running with helmet and ear plugs in. The left side of the bike looks more exposed, I think I will cut off the side stand knob just beyond where the spring attaches and get or make a folding shift lever like the dirt bikes have, then I should be good to go. I had full camping gear in the bags and could not pick the bike up myself without help, I am 205 lbs and not a wimp. I think it would be good to find some grass and figure out how to pick this thing up before heading out on your own, Im sure without the bags I could have done it.
I think the 2nd and 3rd set would be a breeze. Following the instructions, side braces, followed by the stuff in the middle just gets you in trouble. The ones that say put the front/middle pieces in first and install the side crash bars last have it right.bloke said:Easiest bars to fit bar none! Not sure what problems others are having but the three sets we have installed have all been a breeze!
yep putting the center bar in first is definitely the way to do it lolDagny_Taggart said:I think the 2nd and 3rd set would be a breeze.
