Genuine Suzuki engine / crash bars

Heat will help but they will come out without heat with the right tools .

I've taken it to a workshop near me - a bloke I trust who has a ramp and better tools. Without heat I was never going to crack the threadlock with the length of spanner / socket I had available.

I've dropped it off to get the subframe part fitted - he thinks he'll get chance later today - and then I'll bolt the sump guard to the subframe and the fitted crash bars later today hopefully. Pics to follow I hope!

all done!

workshop fitted the subframe today - picked it up after work and then fitted the sump guard this evening - Picture with just the bars:



And then later in the garage the sump guard fitted too:




I thought a long time about going black bars / black sump or silver bars & Silver sump - or mixing the two with black bars and silver sump - thinking maybe the silver sump / black bars might have been the better choice to add a bit of brightness to the bottom of the bike - but still they look good eh?

Looks tidy    and better in black .

Those are the original SW-Motech made bars. Later ones had another tube between the top and bottom horizontal pieces.

Black looks good and I suspect Silver would too. I wouldn't fancy mixing the two though.
