    Received Givi’s new TN2139 bars yesterday and they were just a little bit awkward to fit. 

    Fitting the right bar - the bolt at the top front was 10mm too long, if I had forced it in it would have damaged the alloy engine block. Had to cut 10mm off bolt (have informed Givi). The rear top bolt needs an extra 3 washers to make bars align comfortably. Washers disappear into bar tubing so can’t be seen.

    Fitting the left bar - the rear lower bolt which goes through the rear engine mount has to be withdrawn, it can be gently tapped out using a long cross head screwdriver. The engine did not move. I replaced the bolt the other way round with the nut on the left. This makes it very much easier to remove the crash bar in the future.

    To me they look good, but more importantly they will give lots of protection should I ever have to lay the bike down.

    I received my tn2139 crashbars already 2 months ago and encountered thesame problem with the top front bolt on the right side. I added 10mm of washers that just fitted the mounting tube. Here are the pictures I send to the supplier but all they said was that the partnumber was correct for the GT. Like you stated, it's a design fault. Givi should take action.

    At the first pic you can see the gap with the bolt completely turned in.
