Step 3: (Mounting point preparation)
3.1 Underneath the radiators, you will find these frames mounting positions on the left and
right-hand side of the motorcycle. These are in front of the cylinder heads as can be seen in
the picture below. Clean these holes of possible welding spatter or excess paint with a round
file if necessary. The (X2) M10x 30mm Allen cap screws supplied in the kit should fit freely for
easy installation later.
Step 4: (Fitment of the Left-hand protection bar assembly)
4.1 Take the left-hand assembly as shown in the picture below. Open the side stand at
approximately 70%. (Not fully extended.)

protection bar outwards to clear the cylinder heads.

Note: On the stainless-steel bar fitment (SKU 10-185) you might have a bigger gap than
normal between the left & right mounting plates. Use a ratchet strap or similar over the
lower crash bar tubes to close the gap.

nut and rotate carefully at an angle to centre the u nuts for easy fitment of the bash plate.

last. These are tightened through the holes in the centre of the bash plate.
