Did you have any trouble with the upper bolt on the left side? The bolt that it provides is an M8 size bolt but the instructions call for an M10. Went to the hardware store to try a M10 and it’s too snug. All other boosts fit perfectly. Maybe it needs an M9. Baffled if the instructions are wrong.
Definitely add the Clearwaters well worth it small company but customer friendly. Always get compliments on mine for my 2013 Multi plus they light the way on my dark roads here in GA. Never had an issue with them. Thwy mount to everything plug and play no splicing. They will send the yellow and clear lens. I rock the yellow lens and every since install virtually no one has pulled out in front of me. Friends say they see me miles away with the low beam on. Perfect just do it. Great videos.
Great video! I am looking to buy the same givi crash bars for my new Multi V4S GT. What is the torque spec of that big screw you mentioned breaking on the video? Also, are the Givi bars and fasteners showing any signs of wear or corrosion since your install?
The torque spec is "snug," realizing you're not really securing anything on the bike. So far the bars have held up well, no notable wear or corrosion of any kind. No drops yet so can't vouch for that level of protection.
Hi @4kmotoring, wonderful instructions. I came about your video after attempting installing givi engine guard. When I removed the 12mm frame bolts on the left side while on center frame, the frame shifted just as you pointed out. Im unable to get the bolts to align. Any suggestions on how I can go about fixing my mess ?
It's a pain, but try loosening all the bolts to allow a little wiggle room. Also, be aware that loosening frame bolts while on the center stand can cause significant forces on those frame components.
@@4KMotoring Thats exactly what has happened. The frame bolt hokes don’t align any more. I cant even put the original frame bolts back in. Would putting the bike on rear swing arm stands help align the frame ?
The Givi crash bars actually look real nice. They are probably heavier then the Ducati bars, but look like they mount to more points too which is good. That drop was yikes. You got lucky you had the paniers on and the extended handguards. I noticed that you positioned the center stand step on the middle of your shoe and it slipped. I always step on it with the top part of the shoe and it gives me better control and never slipped so far. What decal kit is that ? Looks nice.
It was absolutely a disappointing drop especially after just riding 4000 mi without incident. I really do like the crash guards and it is giving me additional mounting points for lighting that I needed. It was definitely a messed up for me with a fully loaded bike that I've been careful to not make again lol. As for the vinyl wrap, I have another video on my channel showing the installation with the link to the products.
It took me a bit of finessing, I had to work backwards and install that bolt first. Everything ended up working, just be sure to leave it all loose until everything is seated
@@4KMotoringthanks. So I solved the bolt issue. Just needed to get a 10mm at the hardware store. Now I have a second problem. The dreaded vibration. Any issue with that on yours? Everything is nice and tight. Feel it in my butt and foot pegs. When I reach down and touch the guards, they’re vibrating quite a bit.
Nice videos i find a lot of things about ducati MS that i was lookin over internet, nice job keep it going. And i have a question for auxiliary light that you have, did you buy a mount or you get them with the bik, i cant find one? and aslo i have denali D3 man they are just great on my tracer 9gt that have very poor lights is like night and day, but i will install them now on my ms v4 also.
The lights shown in the video are the Ducati accessory fog lights. They aren't completely absurdly priced but I wouldn't call them the greatest lights out there. I have since added additional lighting and will be putting out a comprehensive video soon!
I will say that it absolutely should as the overall frame and engine units are the same... I have heard some reports that the bolt sizes between the winglets that attaches the top of the skid plate maybe a different size so you may need to find a different bolt for that application
I hadn't thought of that before, but never really had an issue like this before. Grip tape is a good idea, I was thinking about engraving the footstep to give it more grip
Nope, that big bolt is very soft and shallow, I'm pretty certain it's only function is to hold that plastic cover on. When I over torqued mine and broke it, I rode the bike for several days before I could get a replacement with no issues.
Great, great, but you have to change the all factory screws to stainless screws because Givi saving money in this way and they will be rusted as the crash bar itself, after 18 months. ;) Just said. :)
Fasteners seem to be the most disappointing part of any modern motorcycle or motorcycle part. The GV hardware will rust and the Ducati pot metal we'll just strip out
What accessories have you added to your crash bars??
Nothing other than the d3s
Thank you. Because of this video and your recommendation I purchased and installed the Givi crash bars on my Multistrada V4s.👍😎
Enjoy! I don't regret it!

Love the flip flops accessory man! 😂
They live in the garage and are so darn convenient!

I’m installing the same thing on my 22 pikes Peak. The left side top bolt that mounts closest to the engine will not fit. Did you run into this issue?

@@4KMotoring so basically you get they mount kit with the light thogeder in pack?
Correct, but they have to be activated by the dealership in the bike computer. Uses the button on the right hand grip to activate.
I did the same and givi crash bars and mounted Denali D3 lights and they look good on my 22 multistrada v4s ,
Are you happy with those lights or do you think a different model may have worked better for you?
Hey tom how did you wire your D3? Thanks
@@jmrn___ I purchased a wiring harness with the lights
Do you know if it will fit the Pikes Peak?
I will say that it absolutely should as the overall frame and engine units are the same... I have heard some reports that the bolt sizes between the winglets that attaches the top of the skid plate maybe a different size so you may need to find a different bolt for that application
Ouch. Have you thought about grip tape on the center stand foot step?
I hadn't thought of that before, but never really had an issue like this before. Grip tape is a good idea, I was thinking about engraving the footstep to give it more grip
Do I have to unscrew to big bolt that holds plastic to reach a covert bolt?
Your options are either to unscrew that bolt or saw off the plastic shroud to access the bolts (it's easier to unscrew it)
@@4KMotoringwont the bike break in half?
Nope, that big bolt is very soft and shallow, I'm pretty certain it's only function is to hold that plastic cover on. When I over torqued mine and broke it, I rode the bike for several days before I could get a replacement with no issues.
@@4KMotoring last question we are talking about big 12mm hex bolt that is normally covered by plastic cap?
@@bgasiorowski yep, on the right side above the brake lever
