    Mounting Givi saddlebag guards

    Here is an update on those guards. A trip requiring the saddle bags fell through so I didn't finish them until today. - extended the fender brackets - had to bend the brackets a little. Here is the result

    secondary throttle plate mods (mucked up screws)

    Installed and good to go ... except that it's raining here so I can't even try it out! :-( One final thought for those going through this. Plan on replacing the screws. The new one's I got from Victor have a MUCH deeper philips head. If the screws were like this to begin with, nobody...

    secondary throttle plate mods (mucked up screws)

    Oh, and while I'm in there I'm adding Ivan's FCE (fuel cut-off eliminator).

    secondary throttle plate mods (mucked up screws)

    Sweet, $5 including shipping from [email protected] and it'll be in the mail tomorrow! Besides a new quality screw driver, I think it's best to heat the throttle plate shaft from the backside. the shaft is split and heating the front side doesn't do too much ... or you have to heat it...

    secondary throttle plate mods (mucked up screws)

    secondary throttle plate mods (mucked up screws)

    Call me a wimp, but I bought my mod'ed flies from Copper Dawg instead of modifying my own. Mucked up one of the screws though. I could reuse it, but I'd rather not ... if I ever have to remove it again, it'll be a B.. The dealer was absolutely no help. They aren't listed in the parts...

    Mounting Givi saddlebag guards

    Givi customer support phoned me today. The T271 doesn't fit the US FZ1. That's what is going on. TwistedThrottle offered a postage paid return so high marks for them! I'm choosing to modify the bracket to fit. It's actually going to be a pretty easy fix. - front bracket is...

    Mounting Givi saddlebag guards

    Thanks for trying to help! I have the same instructions. I have a used bike and I now think I have a fender eliminator kit, but still have the fender. The brackets that attach to the tail end up about 1" short of the tail (see pics). I emailed Givi tech support and they said they don't...

    Mounting Givi saddlebag guards

    help I have a 2007 FZ1 and I can't figure out how the rails install. Yea, it's pretty obvious how it is "suppose" to go. However, on mine, the riser part the bolts to the fender doesn't seem long enough to clear the fender. What am I missing!? Can you just post a pic of the final...
