2019 Suzuki Vstrom 650 XT Heed Crash Bars Installation Tutorial Dl650 XT

[@Azzurro650]

Excellent video. On the shop side of HEED you can't really imagine how sturdy the crash bars are looking.

[@TinManvlogger]

Ohh yeah for sure but when they are on the feel like a strong adage to the frame work of the bike 👍

[@Yann-81]

Thanks a lot for your video. I just receveid the Heed crash bars. I will install them today.

[@TinManvlogger]

I’m glad you liked the vid I hope it was helpful 👍

[@k93138]

Excellent informative video. Just ordered a set the same and using you’re video for guidance of fitting. Many thanks

[@TinManvlogger]

k93138 awesome dude 👍 I love comments like this 😊 Thank you 😁

[@OldManTony]

Great job. I have Heed bars on my Tiger, they are great quality and fairly easy to fit. Also they were a great price direct from Poland. I particularly liked them because of the tank protection.

[@TinManvlogger]

Yeah they make a good set of bars I like them as they connect to each other top and bottom and to the bike frame And your right they also extend around the tank better than some other bars and come slightly further forward I’m very pleased with them 😊

[@HalfdeadRider]

They do look good mate, nicely put together vid too 👍

[@TinManvlogger]

Thank you buddy 😊👍

[@gestoandlane]

Are you actually half dead?....or half alive? hmmmmmm

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@gestoandlane I was kind of half dead/alive for a lot of my life lol. Until I had my third kidney transplant last year, I was on dialysis 3x per week for over eight years waiting for it. Diagnosed with kidney failure at 6 weeks old after having a biopsy.

[@gestoandlane]

@@HalfdeadRider Holy crap dude, sounds like you've been through the wars....glad to see you're with us now though and if you're ever out for a blast let us know, maybe we can do a collab on something.

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@gestoandlane Sounds good to me 👍

[@toby7504]

Looking good sir.... Im happy with my heed bars.. (dl650 04) solid and nice looking

[@TinManvlogger]

Thanks man 😊 I was expecting them to flex but there’s very little movement on them Which is great 👍 and they look good I also like you can get bags for them

[@toby7504]

@@TinManvlogger l bought a set from heed that contained crashbars, centerstand and a skidplat. The two crashbar bags also came with the set and they look cool to. Seems to be petty solid stuff... And your bike looks better then my old one:))

[@TinManvlogger]

Toby 750 I was thinking of getting a centre stand but not sure if I need one or not yet But it all looks good on the site 👍

[@toby7504]

@@TinManvlogger l use it all the time recomend

[@Felixguitarman]

Good job. Instructions were really unclear. Thanks for your help.

[@TinManvlogger]

Unclear ? Is that an autocorrect or are you being serious 😂

[@Felixguitarman]

@@TinManvlogger sorry, I was talking about those included in the set (a piece of paper in polish)

[@TinManvlogger]

@@Felixguitarman lol 😂 yeah they were terrible I thought you were being sarcastic or something 😂😂😂

[@Felixguitarman]

@@TinManvlogger no no no lmao, sorry the misunderstanding. Good video.

[@TinManvlogger]

@@Felixguitarman thanks bud I’m glad you liked it 😊

[@highlandriders9696]

Looks smart with the bars pal. Also gives more options for additional lighting, camera mounting or even some small luggage to the front of the bike. Cheers

[@TinManvlogger]

Thanks man I was thinking of fitting some led lamps to the bike but not sure if it’s actually need them I already have a bracket to fit the gimbal to the bars 😉 you read my mind 😊

[@highlandriders9696]

@@TinManvlogger Nice. What gimbal you go for or is that yet to be revealed. Thinking I might get one.

[@TinManvlogger]

I use the yi action camera gimbal 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGaxg2CYabaWodE I’ve had it a while so there are probably better models out now but I still use it and it’s great for me

[@DuffersMcDuff]

Thanks man, very helpful

[@TinManvlogger]

I’m glad you found it useful 😊

[@sebastianwilliamsii8034]

How did you get those bolts out i cannot get them out for the life of me I really don't want to send the bike to the shop for such what should be an easy job?

[@TinManvlogger]

hey buddy they are very tight I took my time with it and gently forced it if you take it to the shop they will do the same thing and charge you a pretty penny for it too

[@onanysundrymule3144]

Thankyou Sir. I am liking the upper and lower ring cage strength of this brand. How do you find them after a couple of years - finish, corrosion, vibration etc. Kind regards.

[@TinManvlogger]

On Any Sundry Mule hey bud I haven’t been able to get many miles on the bike since Covid-19 ☹️ But in saying that I haven’t noticed and rust anywhere I washed the bike before it’s service yesterday and didn’t see anything As for vibrations they still vibrate but no more that the engine normally would I’ve had a gimbal attached to the bars and the footage was pretty good 👍

[@MRTPR]

Bike looks great Mate !

[@TinManvlogger]

MR TPR thanks bud 😊 I do have some more bits to fit Just waiting for some nice weather and for my flu to go away 🤧

[@antoniomarin6428]

Hi TinMan, great video. I have recently bought these crash bars from a friend. Some questions about montage. Did the shipment contain instructions? do you think I can mount them only with your video? I don't think he has given me all of the screws. Can they be mounted with the ones on the bike or do you recommend that I contact Heed and buy the screws? Thank you very much

[@TinManvlogger]

Thanks bud I’m glad you liked it it did come with instructions but they weren’t very helpful I think I still have them somewhere You can install them from the video the only thing you can check is where it mounts to the headstock it will go both ways but one way is correct Look at the video and see if you can see how it fits If you haven’t got all the bolts see what you do have and look on eBay for something similar 👍 or contact heed 😊

[@antoniomarin6428]

@@TinManvlogger Thank you very much for your quick response. Just last night I wrote an email to Heed to request the purchase of the screw kit ... Could you provide me with a reference of the order? Let me explain, the defenses they currently have on the web are not exactly the same, change the anchor on the skid plate. I'm going to send them photos but they asked me for a reference number. Thanks for your help. heedshop.eu/en_US/p/Crash-bars-for-Suzuki-DL-650-V-Strom-2017-now/322

[@TinManvlogger]

@@antoniomarin6428 sorry dude I can’t give you the ref number I had as it’s unique to me as a buyer So no offence but if I give you that there is a slim chance they will unknowingly provide you personal details about myself It’s probably best to keep talking to them directly you can even reference the vid to them if you like and explain what you need It’s a bit long winded process but still might be quicker in the long run 👍

[@antoniomarin6428]

@@TinManvlogger Good Morning, you're right. I was referring to the reference number of the heed bar model. I already sent them a photo of the bars to differentiate it from the one you currently have on the web, also a link to this video. Thanks for your help and giving me ideas.

[@TinManvlogger]

@@antoniomarin6428 ahhhh ok I got mine from the eBay link in the description I’ve looked through all of the original email receipts 🧾 I had for the bars and unfortunately dude there isn’t a part number provided But I did check the eBay link and it still takes me to the same page I got mine from so I assume nothing has changed with their listing 👍

[@Fekillix]

Did these introduce any extra vibration? I've heard that some crash bars can resonnate with the engine at low RPM.

[@TinManvlogger]

I Haven’t noticed any extra vibrations from them if they are it’s not causing an issue I think 🤔 I would have to have a bike with this happening next to mine to check it but I haven’t picked up on any vibrations

[@Fekillix]

​@@TinManvlogger Thanks! Just ordered a pair, we'll see how fast Polish post is! :) People mentioned vibration on a post about Givi's bars for this bike, but they only have mounting points on the engine and don't interconnect between each side which might explain why that model is vibration prone.

[@TinManvlogger]

Fekillix I hope they don’t take to long to arrive buddy 👍

[@gestoandlane]

People say good things about the VStrom, never ridden one myself...not sure about whether Gesto has, I don't think so. Maybe we need to test ride one..

[@TinManvlogger]

For some reason I can’t reply to the half dead comment 🤷‍♂️ But yeah take one out you might like it I don’t do bike reviews so I can’t really say much about it but it’s taken me a while to get use to it It’s very different to the MT07 I had

[@scottwall4669]

What is the brand name?? And what type of skidplate did you use?? Thank you! Thumbs up

[@TinManvlogger]

Sorry but I’ve only just noticed this comment but these are heed crash bars And sorry again

[@BickMitchum]

Could have done with them when you first got it haha ;) nice video Budd is this a common mod on this bike ?

[@TinManvlogger]

Haha your not wrong there Yeah it’s pretty common mod just lots different options and makers to choose from I read that some aren’t connected all the way around and can cause more vibration than others so I wanted some that connect top and bottom as well as the frame

[@volgnit]

Nice. They look as though they were made for it. Lol !!

[@TinManvlogger]

Volgnit haha yeah it was almost a prefect fit 😂😉

[@mrniceguy4920]

you did not mention any torque applied

[@TinManvlogger]

At the time I couldn’t find any torque measurements for these but I put some thread lock on and tightened them as firmly as possible without overdoing it I no longer have the bike but I know the bars are still on and have done a great job for the new owner 😊
