I appreciate your video style. You cover details (e.g. torque settings); put important info in text (for avoidance of doubt); set out the tool types needed; & speak clearly without rushing.
I just used your instructions to install my upper crash bars this morning. You explained things so well and slowly enough that I only had to pause and go back a couple of times, but that wasn't because of your video, it was just to make sure I was following your instructions correctly, especially with removing and reinstalling the bolts from the block. That tape trick was so helpful!. Great video Coach Bob. Thank you.
Hi Thank you for a great video. I’m going to fit some )new type) Triumph upper tank and engine bars to a Triumph Tiger 850 sport (This the ever so slightly smaller engine version of the Tiger Gt and Rally Pro. (850 Engine is slightly detuned but actually the same CC to allow for further Uk detuning to power restricting for new riders) Your video is very informative and helpful. Thank you. Dave
It sure looks like a solid kit. I personally really enjoy this type of wrenching on my bikes. I'm looking forward towards your adventures on the Triumph.
Really good video, my friend 👏👏 I feel a bit better now about the OEM upper bars now they have the extra fixing on the engine/frame. Best wishes from Wales in the UK 😂
Enjoyed the video. I'm also doing the install. I'm finding that the fog light connectors barely fit through the front mounting bracket grommet. I've observed there's more slack if the connectors are routed forward in the bracket to meet the fog light connector. but unsure if there's increased chaffing risk.. The path illustrated in the instruction will put stress on the wires (, at least on my bike). Did you or anyone else notice a length issue with the fog light source wires and consider routing forward to connect to the fog light leads? I've pulled things apart to ensure the wires are not pinched anywhere. Just seems a little short. Video was very helpful . Update: I found more wire - the fog light wires were wrapped around a harness. Once unwrapped, there was sufficient length through the grommet.
Great video. Wanted to say I just installed mine and maybe the kits have been updated so wanted to pass a couple minor edits. Holes on crash bars that light wires run through are larger then what the old grommets can support, new larger grommets are provided. Also appears the crash bar kit has a new one piece grommet for the black support bracket vs using two piece grommet setup that comes with light relocation kit.
I did not. It came with the lowers installed. I have taken them off and put them back on before. It is very simple. I would estimate a 20-25 minute job at most.
I also had the Outback motortek bars on my triumph. I just removed them and will go with the OEM bars. Do you remember the torc spec for the 2 front engine mount bolts, the ones under the silver plates. Really appreciate it if you have that.
Hi Robert..It I am road touring.. 400-600 miles a day. If it is dirt mixed with road 120-300 based on terrain and complexity. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hi coach Bob... my crash bars and the fog lamp relocation kit has arrived today. I will follow your video and install the crash bars this weekend. Thank you very much for this detailed video. Can you please share the link for the torque wrench. I will have to purchase it for the install. God bless you.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I am glad the video helped. You're gonna have a ball installing them. I love doing this type of thing. Here's a link to Lowe's. They have a good price on it. I think most of the common brands are all pretty good. www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-3-8-in-Drive-Click-Torque-Wrench-20-ft-lb-to-100-ft-lb/1000772356?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-vf-_-tol-_-ggl-_-PMAX_SBD-Craftsman-_-1000772356-_-local-_-0-_-0&&ds_a_cid=279391351&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiArrCvBhCNARIsAOkAGcViJE8mJYgHTMkXq6Gss5DSSzI59egIQdbnVxi9yNMmgYxtg9VD9mMaAlkCEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
I tried to install the crash bars today but damaged the threads of the nut that goes in the engine suffrage. I am scared how to fix this thread issue now. The threads were super tight and were not going inside. I applied little more torque and the bolt got stuck in the frame. Gradually removed the bolt. I will call the dealership on Tuesday to see what are my options. Any recommendations?
Thanks for your vide, i did everything and when its time to put back the BEAK (front nose) it simply wont fit, is there any trick to fit it? i spend 2 hrs on it and it wont fit, tried multiple ways but it almost seems like beak is not meant to install on mount, any trick to put it back?
I’ll look at it in The morning. Maybe o can send ya some pics. Send me an email to bob3coach@gmail.com With your contact information and I’ll see what I can do in the morning
Honestly.... it was just a bit fidgety. Be patient and you will work it back in and it will align. My email is bob3coach@gmail.com I can get more specific there and maybe arrange a phone call.
Isn’t that a joy to reinstall. You have to make sure you don’t slide off the threaded mounting clips Or move them out of position. Once you get the position right you wiggle the beak back on
Triumph’s Version 1 of the upper bars did not have the third mounting point. Those were a real problem. I am hoping the third point will increase rigidity and resolve that problem. Only time will tell. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
It is truly a matter of patience. In retrospect, I wish I would've filmed that part more closely. I have seen this comment a lot. If ya get in a pickle. Send an email to bob3coach@gmail.com .. I can send pics of the reassembled beak and maybe chat to help.

Just installed my crash bars 5min ago with these instructions, spot on, thanks!
Only took me about 2 hours🤣
Awesome.. I am glad to help!!! 2 hours ain't bad at all. Take it slow and work through it. Thanks for watching.
That tip with the piece of tape is superb. I’m 58 in May and my eyes feel every year of that so I’ll be using that tip from now on.
Glad to help!!!
I appreciate your video style. You cover details (e.g. torque settings); put important info in text (for avoidance of doubt); set out the tool types needed; & speak clearly without rushing.
Thanks so much. I am glad you found it helpful! 👍 👍 👍

Thank ya sir. I really appreciate it!!!

Been searching all over for a video of this install!
Much appreciated
I'm well impressed with your video guide. Helps me a great deal. Regards, Roy Jones, 🇬🇧
Awesome, thank you!I appreciate it.

Awesome video. Very helpful. It went flawless for me following your recommendations and instructions. Thank you.

You and me both! Hopefully a small trip will happen very soon!!!
I appreciate your help. Thanks
perfect explanation - thanks for sharing
You're welcome!! Thanks for watching.

You discovered the same thing that I did. The wire was there it just took a bit of effort to get it all "usable". Thanks for watching and commenting.

That explains the leftover hardware at the end of my install 🤦♂️
Hope it worked out for you.
What about the upper crash bar now? Tested it? No bent tank or subframe crack ? Regards!
So far … so good. I’ve had several minor “fall-overs” with no complications.
I was looking to see if you created a video for install of Lower Crash bar on the TIGER 900 RP - couldn't find it?
I did not. It came with the lowers installed. I have taken them off and put them back on before. It is very simple. I would estimate a 20-25 minute job at most.
I also had the Outback motortek bars on my triumph. I just removed them and will go with the OEM bars. Do you remember the torc spec for the 2 front engine mount bolts, the ones under the silver plates. Really appreciate it if you have that.
I can't recall .. I will check with my Local Dealer when they open upon Tuesday. I am friends with the mechanic.
@@CoachBob3 Thank you so much. I think it’s 48nm from my research but I just want to confirm.
When you go on a trip what’s the average mileage a day you go and how often do you stop? You’re the best 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

@@fjeewani yikes. Let me know how it works out. Cross threading is always the big fear. If I were there I’d help ya figure it out for sure. 👍

You skipped the part where you install the beak. I cannot get mine back on, how do you do it?
Honestly.... it was just a bit fidgety. Be patient and you will work it back in and it will align. My email is
bob3coach@gmail.com I can get more specific there and maybe arrange a phone call.
Yes. The clips have fallen out, what’s proper orientation for the clips
@@BryanMontgomery28 if you did not get it together. Send me an email ( bob3coach@gmail.com ) and I will send pics of mine.
Isn’t that a joy to reinstall. You have to make sure you don’t slide off the threaded mounting clips
Or move them out of position. Once you get the position right you wiggle the beak back on
And why did I watch this about a bike I don’t own? -‘cause it’s CB3 !
Thanks buddy...I appreciate it!!!
Head phone warning would have been nice before the horn test
😂😂😂 I jumped when I watched it 😂😂😂
I dropped my tiger 900 and the upper crash bars made a 2 cm dent in the tank and scratched the the panel that sits in front of the tank. What a shame
Ouch. That’s with these newer style bars like in this vid? Very sorry to hear that.
The right looks outer than the left
The OEM Tiger upper bars is worstest choice, they denting the 900 tank
Triumph’s Version 1 of the upper bars did not have the third mounting point. Those were a real problem.
I am hoping the third point will increase rigidity and resolve that problem. Only time will tell.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
Didn’t you used to sport a bald head? ❤
I need to get out that razor!!! 😂😂😂
The BEAK ???? Re-install... What's the trick? ? All done except can't get it back on😵💫😖
