Crash bars ???

[Lonewolf]

Bloody hell, Wiltsguy I'm sure I can speak on behalf of all of us and wish you a full & speedy recovery. I hope you are soon back to doing all the normal stuff, which includes getting out on two wheels. Take care, Steve

get well soon matey! fitted my bars today and it was tight to get them bolts off !looks like they have used some sort of thread glue as it was red/pink all up the threads

Scary stuff, thank heavens that when this sort of thing happens we are living in an age where modern technology and mind boggling advances in medical procedures mean that we are up and living a normal life again in no time at all. Good luck with your recovery.

Hopefully you will have a speedy recovery

I had George (Was) Whites fit my Adventure Bars, they said they struggled with the mounting bolts -  a bit of a #o# they said

Kind regards

Steve

Bloody Ell Wilts ... glad to hear you are OK and on the mend ... lucky someone found you or you were close to someone .... you are a lucky man 
I am sure after all that surgery you will mend nicely ... we all hope so !
Sorry I don't have the right tools otherwise i would come up for a cup of tea and a welfare check 
Get better soon.

Of those who have fitted the Adventure bars is access to the "tight" bolts through the front easy, ie can you see it and do you have to take anything off?

I ask because if i get some i can nip over my mate's garage and he has ALL the tools to remove stuff but i dont want to spend all day removing stuff just to undo two bolts.

Thanks

Sorry if I have the wrong thread or you have all seen it but I am sure there was a video posted here last year showing how well these crash bars work ... did you see it ? I think it was in the USA and it shows a Gtr on the centre stand and the mechanic just goes up to it and kicks it over ... the bars do an excellent job and the bike is saved. I am sure it's in here somewhere !

yes you can see it and get to it with a longish extension its a 8mm hex

I still like the look of the Top Block ones and I know from personal experience that the Kawasaki version works very well; I think they were the difference between our first GTR being written-off or repaired.

They aren't cheap but fitting them was easy - I dropped the bike off at the dealer's and when I picked it up later they were on.

Hope you recover quickly Wiltsguy.

Excellent, my bike is doing nothing for a couple of weeks due to a new car coming and golf weekends so when that lot is paid for the bars are next on the
it's.
