Hello friend, I would also recommend installing a front fender extension so that less dirt flies from under the front wheel onto the engine!

[@glennburton84]

Did you not put the engine bolt spacers back in?

[@teodochi]

Nice man, thank's! A little question: does the crash bars obstruct battery removal?

[@Dustin-Holstein]

No they do not!

[@sergiozury1]

hi Dustin! great job! i just got mine and im super happy with them ! just havce a question! i feel way moire vibration on my right foot peg from 5000 rpm on! do you feel the same? or its all good?

[@Dustin-Holstein]

Hi Sergio, no I don’t have any vibrations. It didn’t change a thing! Hopefully you figure it out.

Bela Máquina!!! Parabéns!!!!

[@galethompson3372]

How much was the import tax? Thanks Jeff

[@Dustin-Holstein]

I don’t recall but it wasn’t much otherwise I would have remembered.

[@chrigdichein]

hi, can you still change the air filters while the bar is on?

[@Dustin-Holstein]

I have not tried but it appears as if you can.

[@michsky46]

Hi Dustin. Good video. how do you find the front crash bars? are they good? how is the access to battery?

[@Dustin-Holstein]

The crash bars are great! They take hits like nothing. I have been putting them to the rest. Access tot he battery is unobstructed.

[@timesarrow100]

Do you have to remove the bars to access the air filters?

[@Dustin-Holstein]

Nope

[@davidlambert5008]

how long it took you in total ? looks like it took you for ages

[@Dustin-Holstein]

Took me about 3 hours in the afternoon!

[@airdaftskywalker]

Hi, thanks for the sharing. I have to little questions if you can help please :p 1/ Does the up part touches your knees, does it interfere with comfort? 2/ I hope not lol, but did you drop it or crash test it? Ride safe 😳✌🏾

[@airdaftskywalker]

Ok for the second question, I have the answer, I've seen the other video with the crash 💥

[@Dustin-Holstein]

The bars don’t interfere with any part of my body! And yes, If you saw the other video, they hold up quite well!

[@rocket2811]

any idea if it’s the same for Sports DCT ? thanks

[@svrdhd8293]

Heed has multiple versions for Africa Twin: Base/Manual, Base/DCT, AS/Manual, AS/DCT. There’s also an upper-only that they call Basic, works on both Manual and DCT. I ordered mine on Wednesday last week, had them installed this Tuesday. Shipping from Poland was blindingly quick.
