Touratech crashbars how to

[Hammam]

I am about to buy Touratech crashbars for my 1200 GS. Anyone here have installed them themselves? Is it straightforward? I am not very proficient at DIY, but I can handle a screwdriver and pliers. Thank you.

Dead easy, just remember to re-tighten after a few miles of bedding in.

Had to do a bit of grinding on mine as the upper LH bracket was touching the oil line on the LHS of the engine. Apart from that - no problem.

Just keep an eye on the gap when you tighten the bolts.

I believe that that slight flaw has now been addressed. If not, it's an easy fix.

This is what you should end up with.
