Premium Member Motocheck Posted April 7, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted April 7, 2019 I recently ordered Givi crash bars for Tracer GT 2019 I am having issue with right lower bolt. As shown in pics it seems too big after full turn in. I took the crash bar off and will try later when I have more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countersteer Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I recently installed these without any problems. That's a first for me with Givi parts and a pleasant surprise. Looking at Givi's so called instructions, I wonder if the bolt in your pictures is one of the two 80mm bolts (part 5) rather than the 65mm bolt (part 4) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hi By coincidence I’ve just fitted the same crash bars with no issues. I agree the instructions aren’t great but other posts on this site helped. I did measure each bolt to ensure I was using the right one in each place. The instructions give the size of each bolt and spacer. Looking at your picture, it could be the angle of the photo, but the bolt doesn’t look square to the hole. Could you possibly have cross threaded it?

bowlin01 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) Hi Vic, Would you mind posting some pics of the Givi crash bars please? I'm trying to decide whether to go for these or sliders. Will be organising another meet up at Old Warden soon, I'll keep you posted. (I do realise hat there are pics earlier in the thread, but as I 'know' Vic's bike it would be nice to see the crash bars on it).

vic Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Hi Steve, Hope this helps. I really like them, but hope I don’t get to test them in anger! Looking forward to another ride. Vic Edited April 15, 2019 by vic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted April 17, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted April 17, 2019 Does this issue only apply to the new GT? As I've had Givi case guards on my 15 FJ-09 and don't recall this problem but now I need to look 😞 I also flip-flopped the bolt for the lower left bar...

vic Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I had no issues with the Givi bars on my GT. I think it applied to earlier shipments but seems to be sorted now. Vic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrubicon Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hi guys, the bar is steel correct? not to heavy? also, i see on ebay, some made in china, are those nock offs or is givi made in china, so these are same just sold by the manufacturer?

Premium Member Motocheck Posted May 26, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted May 26, 2019 I was able to install engine guard with little modification. The bolt came with the kit was little too long. Have to cut the bolt to right size, add few thread and it’s installed like breeze. Engine guard looks really nice on GT. Added few post install pictures. Yesterday I installed same engine guard on my friend’s Tracer GT that he ordered from same source as mine and it was installed right at first time (no modification needed). I assumed the one I got was not properly QC 🥴 Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kraker Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Ok the install on these crash bars have been harder than I expected. I ordered recently so I have all the right bolt lengths. I'm stuck trying to remove the lower rear bolt pictured below. As I turn the bolt to the left with a fair amount of torque it just spins but never comes out. I've search the user manual to see if there is a nut on the other side i need to grab hold of but nothing? Could I have broken the bolt? I don't understand where there is so much force required and the bolt just keep spinning? I think I broke something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I broke something? that looks like the bolt that goes all the way through the frame. there should be a nut on the end holding that very long screw on. what I did was after getting the other bolt off, I used a long flathead and gently tapped the bolt through the frame with a mallet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to remove it to install my crash bars. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kraker Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Yes that's it, you guys are awesome. I thought I was going crazy. I see that nut on the other side just rotating away! Whew I almost pulled out my easy out kit! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
