How did you get the screws loose? I tried today and couldn’t loosen them. It seems that there are not enough depth in the screw head for the allen key to properly fit. I stopped trying as I realize it’s going to strip.

Stryggled a long time with that... The former owner had smashed one of the screws in the bar end...
But now they are mounted![]()
Drilled hole in the screw, and smashed a torx T45 bit in the hole... The I could get the OEM bolt out...How did you get the screws loose? I tried today and couldn’t loosen them.

Cool thanks, going to try that 😀Drilled hole in the screw, and smashed a torx T45 bit in the hole... The I could get the OEM bolt out...![]()
The OEM hand guards are for decoration only, like most of the plastic body work on the G310R/GS. They are just a piece of plastics without support. The OEM guards work fine as support for handle bar muffs in colder climate.I assume they are more resilient than OEM hand guards...
They are 1.000 times more solid and resilient than the OEM...I assume they are more resilient than OEM hand guards...
Yep, I agreeLook where you wish to be, operate the unit. I second that thought.
The corralary being If you look at that rut, you will enter that rut.
@LMarr [DK] can you perhaps post a photo of the side view, or explain to me.... The instructions mention that the backbone, when viewed from the side, must be horizontal. Mine is not, on the clutch side he cables are in the way, so the maximum the backbone can lift is as high as my lever, which is far from horizontal.View attachment 17187

A few days ago I mounted my Shad 3P and SH23 sidebags, very very happy with those too
(an extra lock came with the sidebags so my Shad SH37 topcase now locks with the same key as the sidebags)
I mounted so my levers align with the little groove/bracket in the barkbusters....@LMarr [DK] can you perhaps post a photo of the side view, or explain to me....

Real men read the instructions afterwards, if everTo be honest, I didn't read the complete instructions ;-)
Yep, and repetition is the mother of all learningReal men read the instructions afterwards, if ever![]()
That's why I start repeating before installation, by reading the instructions first. I usually skip the first 80% of warnings, that are there for the protection of the manufacturer.Yep, and repetition is the mother of all learning![]()
