Thanks to a viewers comments. I realized I forgot to install the stock bottom bolt spacer. I went ahead and put it in and wasn't too hard to do it without removing the top bolt mount.
Great video!! Can I ask where you purchase them from? Also, have you tested them by laying the bike gently on a lawn or pads? I'm trying to figure out if they will keep the handle bars from denting the gas tank in a slow drop. Not that I have dropped my bike;)
@@leathaelsdon9438 I got them from Webike in japan. No I have not test laying my bike down. I get that question alot. Maybe I should make a video of it. Thank you.
I just finished installing the crash bar this afternoon and it turned out to be pretty straightforward thanks to this video. Thank you so much for your generosity by filming and sharing.
Thanks so much for your video! The bars literally came without instructions, so i'm glad I found you video. Very simple and well made vidoe. Straight to the point. No annoying music.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm always a little nervous about working on stuff like this, especially with my bike only being a couple months old, but I just followed this video step by step and it was way easier than I expected. Got it installed no problem.
After watching this video I also ordered. Aset of ceashbara for my Honda rebel. They seem to be sturdy. But installing them took all my morning, but I'm happy with how they look.
Thanks for putting this video together. Because of this and Google Translate I was able to get mine installed tonight. I'd have probably avoided these without the video, so they should be thanking you for the extra sales. Great work!
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful. I have a suggestion for your next video though. I feel it would help even more if you were actually talking and explaining what you were doing in each step, instead of just silence. There were times during the video when I wasn’t sure which side of the bike you were working on. Also at the end it would have been helpful to show the bars fully installed. But very helpful nevertheless. Much appreciated!
Hi, Thank you for the kind words and suggestions. That was one of my early videos and I learn from each one. I do recognize some of the mistakes I make. As far as me talking, I've been ask a few times before :) There are a few reasons I don't talk. One is I am not gifted in talking and if I talk, it would require a lot more editing that I would want to do. Also since I dont talk, I tend to put more focus on the video which I think makes better quality videos. Lastly I was inspired to make videos from other DIY videos that hand no music and no talking and honestly I used them to fall asleep as well :)
Looks good, but it's a poor design being 2 independent pieces. This means any twisting forces will be transmitted directly to the frame which defeats the purpose.
I just received crash bars through Amazon. The have a name of Baione on them and came with absolutely no instruction. Box says "made in China", my bad but they do look just like the one you installed with spacers and all. I'm still a bit nervous but plan to attempt this install. I would have had no ideal where to start. Glad I found your video
Got it all done yesterday in my 28degree barn. Would not have attempted it without your video. The bars that came from China ha holes that were about 1/16" off. Used a Dremel to slightly elongate.
Will these actually do anything to protect the bike? I'd love to see someone lay the bike down on the side just to show what all would still get messed up if you went down.
@@jopierre17 it shouldn’t be that hard. As you can see in my video I used two open and closed wrenches. Sometimes you get unlucky and the loctite they use makes it difficult. If you uncomfortable, seek professional help. Maybe an impact air gun.
Just got my crash bars, but now I'm apprehensive about install, since I don't have a jack. Some are saying it can be done while on the kickstand, but the engine might sag? That sounds like it would be incredibly difficult to put back in place again with human strength. I wonder if those who are stripping the nuts are the ones trying to do it without a jack (like, the engine weight is putting too much tension on the screw for it to be loosened)? Has anyone actually done this install on the kickstand only, and did they have any problems?
Hey great video! very easy step to step. I was wondering if you have the PDF instructions? I just needed to see what the long bolt and nut size and length is as mine didn't come with it.
Do the heat shields need to come off? Are they in the way of the install? From the video it's hard to tell.. it doesn't look like they're in the way that much... great job on the video and thank you for this...
Thank you. The left cover give you more room to hang the horn while it is off. The right cover gives you more room on the lower bolt and you risk scratching the cover. You can probably do it without removing the covers.
Excellent video. I followed your process exactly, and it worked out perfectly. The Daytona engine guards shipped from Japan, and appear to be a very high quality product. Quality materials craftsmanship and finish. ONE QUESTION: The hardware package included a short bolt (12mm), I presume this bolt is to be used to attach the horn to the left engine guard? The original bolt on the bike works fine, some I'm wondering why the extra bolt was included.
Before I go look at my Bike to install, Asking...Any reason Can't install One Frame bolt at a time - L-R Lower first- snug NOT tight/remove upper then Inches away- Push each side upper into place then place and tighten All both lower and upper (or Visa-Versa-Upper first?) Without having to support Engine weight from the Bottom(jack/Blocks etc...)? Or design allows NO Back-Forth swivel play for that?
I suppose you can. Hopefully the exhaust doesn’t get in way. Some have also said you don’t need to support the engine since there are other mounts still holding it. I just wanted to be really safe and didn’t want to deal with an engine moving on me.
Thank You Sir...Simply trying keep things as less complicated as need to be and I ask YOU because done Hands On and many times Easier route not visible until....After already done=hind sight! thinking, Damn, I could've done easier this way, lol🤣@@MacrossGarage
Thanks for useful video. I just ordered mine. But noticed you used a front wheel chock and wondering if this is needed for the install or if one can support the engine with a jack without it as I will need to buy one if that is the case.
The jack is used to support the engine so it doesn't move out of alignment when the engine bolt mounts are released. If the engine moves it will be hard to put the bolts back on. You can probably do it without a jack and hope it doesn't move, but there is that risk.
@@MacrossGarage love how you show every step of the process and the results! Great Great Great camera angle! Please share it on the Facebook page if you are a member, many people would be grateful!
Did you find that the guards were wide enough to provide enough protection for the tank and side of the motorcycle? Or do you wish they were a little larger?
I have a question, my wife is thinking about adding a set of forward controls (CMX1100 DCT Rebel 2022/23 - Kit Original Controls Repositioning (S-0832) - Footrest Footpegs - Hardware Fasteners Included - De Pretto Moto Accessories (DPM Race) - 100% Made in Italy) to her 1100T. Will the Daytona guards work with this set of forward controls?
After looking at the photos, i am going to have to guess it wouldn't work. The left side might be ok but the brake pedal might hit the guard bar and even if they fit, the guard bar will probably get in the way of your feet. Those are nice looking forward controls though, thanks for sharing.
Hey Zoltan not sure what you asking with your first question. I am assuming you are asking if it scrapes when I turn? I used a front wheel stand then raised the engine with a jack.
I will be taking the bike to the shop next Monday so they can install the crash bar. I want to make sure that if they remove pieces I get it back. Can you provide me with the list of parts that I need to get back?
Great video. This is probably a dumb question, but I have never worked on my motorcycle. I'm a newbie. I have a jack to hold the engine, but do I need a stand to hold the bike upright or can I use the kickstand? Thank you.
@@MacrossGarage Yes, it does help thank you. One more question, I'm assuming you're using a 3/8 torque, but I cannot find the amount of torque you're supposed to tighten the engine bolts. I don't want to overtighten or undertighten on my engine.
@@rustyscrib6071 A previous comment asked and I think they found after searching its around 45-55 NM or 35-45 ft-lb. Ask as many questions you like hopefully I have the answer.
@@MacrossGarage thanks for the info. My neighbor has been riding for over a decade is going to help me with it. I went ahead and bought a service stand for the back wheel.
Which bolt upper or lower? You are the second comment this week on how hard it is to take out the bolt. Wonder if the newer ones have a stronger torque. Were you able to fix it?
@@hecnotic Yea if there is no plastic it would be easier. That plastic near the brake is the one that covers the horn area and lower nut for the bolt mount?
@@MacrossGarage the rear brake side. No plastic needs to be taken off. On the side of the clutch for me where the horn is. That plastic needs to be taken off. After that. It’s easy. Thanks to your video big props to you for this. Only bad part is my guardian bell was on the bell so I had to take it off and put it back on
