CF MOTO 450MT UPPER CRASH BAR INSTALLATION

[@stevesanelli90]

Great job Flat Broke bloke! Personally, i would've fitted all the bolts & brackets loose but not super loose & make dure the alignment is set. Tighten the side ones before the centre ones to mske sure there is movement inwards to the centre. Still, a great job ready for them hills & valleys! Cheers

@@stevesanelli90 yeah she's all good now.

Hello thank you for the video, very interresting. are they the black version of the bars ?

A good job! You made it look easy. Thanks.

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

It was easy mate. I only had to install 1 bracket then it was 3 bolts, so 5 bolts in total.

[@metalsadman]

it's easy, bike has all the mounting points ready

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

@@metalsadman yea that's eight

[@bazz6670]

That was pretty simple to fit, still waiting for mine . Really looking forward to getting them on mine. Cheers for sharing.

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

@@bazz6670 no worries mate thanks for watching. Yes very easy to install. It took all of 25 - 30 mins with filming.

[@365buz]

can we install Moskomoto 35l panniers on Mt450 - kindly respond.

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

I haven't decided what I'll use yet. I don't have trips planned yet. How do you find the Moskomoto panniers?

[@365buz]

I just bought, considering the installation is standard for most of adventurer bikes

[@francoisdegouy6909]

hello, nice editing video can you tell me where you found these gray crash bars? price ? THANKS.

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

CF Moto Australia have them on their websie for about $110.

[@davidz8]

Great one thank you.

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

No worries thank you. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@150_ADVenture]

Hey flat broke bloke, deadly video here! Do you have links for these bars mate ? I just bought one and began to option it up.

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

They are the factory CF Moto bars. I got them from the CF Moto Australia website. shop.cfmoto.com.au/search?pagenumber=2&orderby=0&pagesize=18&q=450MT&advs=false

[@eskerinola5845]

Hi Do you happen to know how much weight it adds?

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

No I don't I didn't think to weigh them, but they are pretty light. I'd say maybe 3kg if that. I tried to find the weight but the CF Moto website doesn't say. There's next to no info on there for buyers.

[@eskerinola5845]

@@FlatBrokeAdventures When stating the weight of the bike, the crash bars should be included, since other bike's weight do.

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

@@eskerinola5845 The bikes come without crash bars which are then either fitted by the dealer or sent to you and you fit them. CF Moto have only stated a dry weight of 175kg. My registration papers say it's tare weight is 185kg. I believe someone on KZbin had scales and weight his bike at 195 or 196kg. I've added luggage racks , upper crash bars and a taller screen with lower crash bars, bash plate, centre stand and a couple of other small things still to come. So mine might end up at 203kg when done.

[@eskerinola5845]

​@@FlatBrokeAdventures Yours is the first time that I come across a real-world weight of the 450 MT, and it may demystify a lot of the BS that one can read. If this is the case, this bike's weight is compatible with other Chinese bikes which look different but may be very similar, like the Macbor 500 and Voge 525. Thank you.

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

@@eskerinola5845 you're welcome mate

[@daveramsay8887]

Eat lots and lots of food, wear an unflattering #3 and then add heavy crash bars to a light MC.

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

These crash bars are actually quite light and didn't at much weight to the bike at all. I can't tell the difference with the on or off the bike. They are the to protect the fairings and tank when I fall off.
