hi,

you will struggle here with this they have gone bust and chances of a second hand set is remote, better off looking for something else, they were only hed on by clamps and if the bike fell on its side they moved so not worth having anyway

hi read this

Extra crash bar

Hi, I have the crash bar on the XT as shown in the first image. I would also like to protect the left and right sides, the second photo shows that someone has mounted an extra Givi crash bar. Does anyone have experience with this and should adjustments be made? Maybe there are other options...

Thanks Rob

I will look into Givi. A buddy has them on his ST . I had not looked at them that closely.
I have a DR for rough stuff and Givi upper will suit fine with lighting choices I have mounted now

Hi,
Just bought the Givi TN355 too, need some adjustment to fit perfectly with the OEM crash bar.
Will be a winter project for me

Got my GIVI TN 355 uppers and installed a few days ago. (installing in combination with Yamaha factory lowers already in place). The right hand side went on easily without complication. The left side was a bit of a fight. (Just to be clear everything was left loose until completion) .
It was slightly out of true based on attachment points. You will have to cut off the lower rad mount on the Givi bar. As well extensively "trim" the existing lower rad mount used on the OEM bars to make clearance. Some slight elongating of holes/slots were necessary to get a stress free fitup. I also had to slightly modify the center piece that fastens where the brake line support bolts up. ( Debated just removing the attachment tab altogether. I may still do this if I ever have to remove the bars again)

Aside from the unexpected fitment issues on left bar they are sturdy and look okay with the factory lowers. They will suffice for low /no speed tip overs , I think. (I will not be advertising for GIVI with the plastic name plates though).

Key is to not force any bolts that you cannot start by hand as it would be very easy to crossthread some attachment points. Take your time and walk away if its gets too frustrating. LOL. Being patient and stubborn will get the job done .

OR maybe you guys will get lucky and yours will line right up as the ones my friend has on his ST. His took less than an hour to complete.

Good write-up, Joe. Thanks for sharing. Gives us all something to consider and plan out when installing them.
