SW-Motech CrashBars - The first and most important accessory No 1#
SW-Motech CrashBars - weight 7 kgs
|
A bit of an effort to fit. But well worth the effort. You'll need a few unusual tools:
- A Torx 55 (To undo 4 engine mountings)
- A 16mm combi spanner (To get the old nuts off)
- A 18mm combi spanner (To get the new nuts on)
- Both 17mm and 19mm sockets
- A long extension, or 2 joined together to get to the inside front nuts from the opposite side of the bike and a mate
- to help you as this is not a one man job
- A Torque Wrench set to 80 nm which is very tight.
TIP: I spray painted the Bolt Heads, Spacers and Washers in Satin black the night before I fitted them.
SW-Motech Crash Bars:
They look really good on the Tiger. My shins do catch them at times, overall I'm pleased with the crash bars. The only
downside is that in an accident the engine covers on the ends on the crankshaft will still touch down as these bars do
not protect as well as my old Thunderbike Bars on my Tiger 955i.
