Shipping was quick considering it came from Turkey…easy install, looks good on the Bike, pegs are a comfortable position to switch to from regular foot pegs…I could not give it 5 star because on the reviews i see one that says junk do not buy because with enough force the way it mounts on the Bike could put enough force to break the engine housing and i see this as a reality so I’m going to add a short clamped on bar to go between the crash bar and the bike frame to prevent this from ever happening…i will post a picture of it when i am done with the install. I also highly recommend to the manufacturer to add this piece because the way it is designed could definitely cause damage to the bike if you where to wipe out which i hope i never do…

ich hab mir diese Sturzbügel primär gekauft um auf Langfahrten Mal die Beine durchzustrecken bzw. den Kniewinkel zu vergrößern - sogenannte Highway pegs.Es erfüllt prima seinen Zweck... Umgefallen ist mir mein Bock noch nicht, deswegen kann ich zum eigentlichen Schutz nichts sagen ;-)

This only gets one star because it did not fit. the right side upper hole does not line up by atlest a 1/2 inch.i am going to buy another one maybe that one will fit better, i will not buy a third. I will change my review when i get and install the second one. The jury is still out. Safe riding all.

After a few videos on how to install, not much problems and fits nicely. Just searxh for Kompozit GP crash bar installation -....RSC Thailand offers the best info, Spectroclimb also good. Need one extra set of hands at times to adjust and tighten properly.

Update2: Do yourself a massive favor and double-check the official website. I could have saved 3 figures had I done this.Since writing this review I have fallen on a sheet of ice and busted the sacrificial plastic cap. I am glad I had these on, they saved the bike from even being touched despite being on let's just call it not ideal terrain (side of a forest road). More importantly, I was able to start my bike up and ride it back out to safety with only a minor bend in my rear brake pedal that I easily bent back out (that's on me, I should really get a folding brake pedal & shorten my shift pedal).On with my original review:Instructions would have been nice, but I managed to stumble through it. If you look up givi crash bar installation on youtube, these use the same mount points so it helped a ton.Never the less, these were easy to install once I knew what to do and they are mounted firmly to the frame of the bike. The bolt holes aligned perfectly on my 2013 nc700x, so I'm unsure what the others were complaining about. I'm very happy that they aren't just for show - I was a bit concerned seeing the tabs, but now that I see and experience them mounted it makes sense that these tabs were needed for a proper fit without interfering with other bike functions. They blend very well with the bike and give an extra foot position to boot.Certainly not the cheapest, but I think these offer the most crash protection for those like me who wish to train hard which will result in many drops.Update1: I got to test these out in an unscheduled parking garage mishap. They performed admirably, keeping my foot well clear of any danger and making the bike easier to right. There was no damage to the bike, and the hard plastic endcap does have some slight scratches but only noticeable by feel - very difficult to see. Had it not been on smooth concrete it may have left more marks on the plastic endcap so your mileage may vary. Still highly impressed, glad I didn't go with the Givi bars that were tempting me.

I just received and installed these crash bars today and I was amazed at how nice they looked but how far off one bar was to lining up. The right side (exhaust side) did not line up with the bolt holes. I tried to expand the hole with a drill bit and then also had to heat with a heat gun and use a rubber hammer to basically bend one of the bars out to make the fitment work. The bolt holes were about 1/2 inch off. Not sure if they were bent or damaged somehow but my shipment box looked totally fine. All of This added about 1 1/2 hours of time and work to the project. The other side did line up totally fine, no other issues. I installed on my brand new 2023 nc750x with 4 miles on it. I still needed PB blaster to loosen the bolts. Installing is straight forward as long as the bars line up. Would buy again but would be worried of misalignment.

I dropped my new bike the day after I bought it. Was in an uneven parking lot and had to push it forward against the pitch of the lot to get to a stable position. Must have scraped the kickstand while pushing which meant it was behind the position to lock when I put weight on it. Nearly 500 lbs on my left foot. Decided I needed two mods to the bike - a center stand and crash bars. Put the crash bars on today exactly two weeks from the drop.The bars come with no directions, but there are only five connection points to the bike frame so installation is pretty obvious. Most everything can be done with a 17mm socket and a #6 hex key. You'll replace a bolt under the headlight with a new one that comes with the bars that is longer since it will now hold the "T" front of the assembly. The bolt you remove has a 14 mm head. (At least on the 2023 version.) The new one has a 17mm head, but the threads are the same. I wasted some time trying to take the nut off the bolt before I realized the nut is integral to the frame. 14mm bolt head is on the left side of the bike, or your right when you are facing it.There was some weld debris on the inside of the tubes that connect to the "T". I filed that off and greased the "T" and made certain the pieces fit before attempting install. Keep all your bolts loose until you have the entire frame in place. The bars distort a little as you tighten them. Leaving everything loose until you get all the bolts started accommodates that.Took me a good three hours. I had to get my 17mm deep socket as well as the standard for some of the bolts because there isn't much clearance to move ratchet handle some places. Wear gloves unless you don't mind getting your hands nicked.When you finish, you will have an awesome set of crash bars. I'll be 69 in a couple of months so if I can install these, most anyone probably can. Just leave yourself some time for the unexpected.

After taking the craziest shipping route from Istanbul Turkey, to NY, to Jacksonville FL, to Cincinnati OH, to West Chester OH, to Indy it finally got to me and actually on time.They are well made and the powder coating is good.There are no instructions but it's fairly simple to work out. You have 1 screw to take out on the lower engine fairings each side then pop out the press fittings to get to the front engine mount screw. The front of the bars butt together with a small tube section with a mounting arm that goes under the light housing onto a bolt that holds the fairing frame. (They provide a longer bolt for this).I had to leave all the bolts loose and squeeze really hard to get the right hand rear bolt in, the bars were not an exact fit, the left side was spot on and went on easy.I sprayed mine green to match the bike.They are great for mounting my halo running lights.A 6 hex key and a 17mm socket and wrench should be all you need.
