Fitting Touratec handlebar crossbar

[Rick 1600]

Got a 2010 GSA and trying to fit a crossbar. Touratec sent me a 2008 onwards one but I cant get the thing to fit.
The right hand brake thingy gets in the way of the clamps and even if it didnt the bar would be pointing at the speedo...
Anyone managed to do this without a degree in engineering?

Jeff, your bars are twisted upwards???
How long is the bar?

Dropped clutch and brake levers a tad as far more comfortableand stopped wrist ache. Think thats what make bars look different. Cant remember for sure but dont think I moved them.

Sorry cant measure bar as ,as stated, am in Crete and bike in UK. Not coming back until Dec
