Anyone got any advice on how to fit these?

Looks like I will need to strip half the bike down to get them on??

Or have I missed something?

Any tips or advice will be most welcome

Cheers

:???: :???:

They are original Triumph items, as far as I know, that bolt onto the main engine mounts. The front 2 mounts behind the radiator are just about accessible but the rear two are recessed and I guess will mean removing tank, airbox and possibly other stuff to get at them.

I used to install crash bars made by the german manufacturer hepco & Becker on my 2001 legend.

The construction is made with good quality chroed steel tubes, ans the mounting is easy, you just need the right
Torx 55 tool, and good fingers

I experiment them during a winter ride in the snow late january :hammer:

Very likely if they are anything like the Tiger bars I once fitted.

A picture of the bars would help here.
