XTreme Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 Handguards arrived......took only 8 days to get here! Pretty much identical to the Givi guards but obviously not the same quality. I only want them for wind protection so I'm not fussed how sturdy they are. Unfortunately they've come with brackets and various nuts and bolts! And no instructions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 Figured out where screws go etc.....but I've hit a brick wall trying to release the screw out of the bar end weight. Fucking thing keeps turning the whole weight rather than the screw turning within it. And I found this in the bike toolkit......WTF is it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Have you got any mole grips or pipe grips ? Try putting a cloth around the bar end (to protect it) then grip it with the mole grips while turning the screw anti-clockwise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I don't have much confidence in him doing stuff......he's not a mechanic as such, just someone who does bits and pieces. Last time he did anything was when he put the crash bars on the 650GS.......and I had to point out to him where the fixing points where. Then he cross threaded a nut on one of the main bolts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 I had my handguards last week.....and now the air pump has turned up. Wow......I'm very impressed! Set your required pressure and just hit the button......no effort required and the car is done!! I used to sweat my nuts off! Now giving it a full charge then I'll check the bike later and the wheelbarrows at the horses' compound tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
