Help needed for removing R1150GSA BMW crash bars

[Steptoe]

Dont need a long ext to take them off, r/h bar is held on by the lower bar. This is removed by just removing the bottom section and top fixing under the tank at the front.

.

Oh dear. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing


What you describe above is the classic usual case of the inner round fixing broken off/out of the crash bar and still attached to the frame with the crashbar bolt .

Go out to your bike, have a look on the R/H crash bar, and then have a look at the bolt that attaches it to the subframe/engine.
See that really thick round washer under the bolt - that's part of your crashbar.

crash bars

I took mine off after a prang, they will fit but need "springing slightly to get on.
I have kept the sump plate on but if anyone wants the bars for free come and collect them, I am NOT going to send them so anyone wants them send a pm.

Bar's now removed

The last right hand bar wouldn't come off even with the fron un-bolted, but with a 10inch 3/8 extension managed to remove it....

Cheers guys, thanks for your help.
