I don't like the look of the HEED bars, but still, good to see you showing how they're mounted. You keep making videos that have useful content! For which I thank you 🙏
I have these bars on my bar and they look great I love them, then I got the Pyramid Plastic lower Cowl kit in black and it fits amazingly well and makes the bike look well wicked.
Thank you Dean for dropping the comment and for watching, Very interested if you can share a link for your plastic caps that you've fitted to your crash bars, also the seat thing as well. Thank you in advance 🙏

Thank you for watching and dropping the comment, in some respect i agree with you, but they do the jog and they don't cost much , always i can upgrade with some sw-motech or similar. 🔥
I discovered one problem with these crash bars. I have also them installed on my Tracer. The problem is that they are too low to the ground, and if you have track days or fast canyon rides be sure not to touch the pavement with them. I am thinking about changing them to SW Motech maybe.
Thank you for watching mate 👍 Much appreciated for commenting ✅ HEED has recalled the old crash bars as the ones I have are the new ones 👍 Make sure you contact them and they will replace them free of charge 👍 as the old model has been found as it touches the ground when leaned over and the replacement is much higher and will not be interfering at all 👍 hope this helps mate and get them sorted 👍
@@alinwithther6 My track coach told me that it is a bit dangerous for me to have them. I have a bit another model of Heed crash bars, only lower part. I checked their website, looks the same. But I will also contact them and ask, thank you!
@@clawbass888 i've never been to a track day... don't know the rules, but on our roads you can never lean the bike that much anyways.... but do contact them and ask.
Thank you Sergey for dropping the comment, They recommend installing each crash bar separately not both at the same time . No issues regarding the engine dropping 👍
Hi Alin, I note from later videos that you has what looks like plastic caps on the end of the tube sections of the bars where the bolts are fitted to the frame. Did they come with the bars, or did you buy them seperately. If so, could you provide a a link to where you bought them from please. Many thanks Robert
Hi Robert, Thank you for dropping the comment, much appreciated, I've used Amazon stuff that have been recommended by other Tracer users, Please follow the link www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00S4YWQS8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 hope this helps.
do the bags come with the crash bars. How is the quality of the engine guards. A gentleman actually trimmed the mounting bar. I would take that mounting bar to a metal fabrication person and have them trim the bar to fit. Than I would paint it with LINE X. Which is a a protective coating.
Thank you for your comment, The crash bars and gags can be purchased separately or together, i think i have the link in the description of the video. I'm very happy with the fit and it has been tested
If you referring for the very bottom one , I’ve tightened it to 60nm, But the engine ones are : top 45nn and bottom 60nm, Thank you for watching and dropping the comment 👍
Hi Alin, I have ordered these aswell. (pending arrival) Have you had any problems that the crashbars hit the ground earlier than the footpegs? I read something about this on a Spanish forum about the low version of these crashbars (so not the bunker ones) can you comment? (and maybe also if they would also take the higher footpegs setting?)
Hi Vincent, thank you for your comment, I have also heard some people had this issues however HEED recalled them back , I don’t find any issues with mine and I was leaning quite a bit in my Scotland trip , The only issue you might have is if you have the belly pan installed like me, you will need to modify it a bit, otherwise ride safe !
Thank you for dropping the comment 👍 Unfortunately I haven’t tried the puig belly pan as I prefer the sw motech and with a little adjustment fits perfectly ✅ Much appreciated ✅
Hi m8, Thank you for the comment 👍 The top engine bolt torque is 45NM and the bottom engine bold torque is 60NM, I have tighten the other lower bolts to 60NM as well. Torques are in the description as well. Hope this helps 💪
Thanks for the video. Is it possible to install a heed crash bar with the original engine bolt (bottom) on Tracer 900? I kind of messed up the engine bolt that came with the heed crash bar(stupid me, I used metal to try to insert it and then messed up the screw thread)
Hi mate , Thank you for watching and dropping the comment 👍 Much appreciated ✅ Sorry to hear your experience but Honestly, I did the same thing, I didn’t payed attention and cross treated one of the bottom bolts and when I wanted to tight it up it broke so I had to drill it out but likely when I’ve put the new bolt in , I’ve made sure I won’t cross tread it again and it went in just fine, I put it in and out few times just to make sure the trad was fine and it was. I’ve used one of the other bolts from HEED and replaced one from the top with original as it was the same length so no drama there 👍 Hope you get it resolved 🤞 Ride safe 🙏
@alinwithther6 Thanks for a quick and thorough reply. My bottom bolt(the longest one that goes through the engine) is screwed. I think I will put original one back. Cheers. Keep up good work
Thank you Michael for watching and dropping the comment, Yes HEED supplied all the necessary bolts in the kit . Just be prepared to do some small modifications 👍
Hi mate , Thank you for watching and dropping the comment 👍 Much appreciated 🥳 Both sides are the same, the only difference is the right one sticks out slightly at the very lower end compared with the left side but I supposed this is how they have designed it as is not affecting the ride in any shape 👍 Hope this helps 👍
Hi David, Thank you for dropping the comment ✅ Much appreciated ✅ Unfortunately, I haven’t measured them, however, on one of them I used to keep an electric pump with puncture repair kit and couple of chain cleaner and lube cans, On the other one used to carry a small tool kit, a torch and a battery bank. Ohh and a redbull 🤣 that when I’ve dropped the bike once made a mess inside 🤣 The are not the biggest ones out there but they are well made and waterproof ✅ and made specifically for these crash bars from HEED 👍 You can always buy different bags and attach there. Hope this helps 😎 Ride safe !
@@alinwithther6 thank you so much!! Thanks for answering so quickly. I have another question, does the bag touch the fairing? Or is it separated from the plastic of the motorcycle? If you can measure the interior dimensions later, I will remain attentive in case you respond with the measurements. Thanks for your videos, good job! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@davidabiansanchez5736 thank you for dropping the comment ✅ Much appreciated ✅ The bags attaches with Velcro around the crash bars and don’t touches the fairings, however, if you fill them with bulky stuff that points out it might 👍 I’ve been carrying chain cleaner, lube , electric pump etc and had no issues ✅ Hope that helps ✅

When a 10 minute job turns into a 10 hour job 🤣 good job we love bikes ay 🤣 nice video bud 👌
Thank you Billy 🙏
Yes 6 bolts and 10 min 🤣🤣
You did everything in detail bro. Enjoyed it. Very useful videos about the bars and installing them. Got my like. Just keep it up and ride safe.
Thank you 🙏
Much appreciated 👍
Great video 😎
Thanks for the visit 🙏
I have alredy Heed and i will be mounting next week sw motech gouard.I think we must cuting a litle a wright side of sw motech brocket..
Thank you Merek for watching and for dropping the comment 🙏
Yes I have to cut the bracket to make it fit 👍
Will do a video as soon as I get it done 👍
Nice bars, but I'm not a fan of the bags. They very quickly turn a sort of purple-grey colour in sunshine and look terrible.
Thank you for watching and dropping the comment,
in some respect i agree with you, but they do the jog and they don't cost much ,

It is the one I like the best and I also have the OEM aux lights. It will probably cost an arm and a leg to ship to Canada.

you may have to trim them a bit, as i had to but is no big deal and they look really good on the bike.

Are they worth nearly 200.
Thank you for watching and dropping the comment 🙏
The price was £161 including the bags ,
Yes they well worth it 👍
Still waiting the next video about the solution 🥳
Is coming next week bud 👍
Got the day off tomorrow so I will have the solution filmed 😎
Thank you for your comment 👍
how many nm for the bottom screw?
If you referring for the very bottom one , I’ve tightened it to 60nm,
But the engine ones are : top 45nn and bottom 60nm,

Can you fit crash bars heed with belly pan puig on TRACER 9?
Thank you for dropping the comment 👍
Unfortunately I haven’t tried the puig belly pan as I prefer the sw motech and with a little adjustment fits perfectly ✅
Much appreciated ✅
Can you still remove the side cases / fairings with the bars in place?
I think it will be a bit of a squeeze ,
Anyway the bars are very easy to remove if needed 👍
Hi, where did you find the torque values for the screws?
I think on the manuals, however it was a bit tight 🤣🤣
What are the tightening torque my friend how can I find this details ?
Hi m8,
Thank you for the comment 👍
The top engine bolt torque is 45NM and the bottom engine bold torque is 60NM,
I have tighten the other lower bolts to 60NM as well.
Torques are in the description as well.
Hope this helps 💪
Hello
How many newtons does it take to tighten the bottom bolt.
Thanks
Hi Ricardo,
60NM .
Thank you for watching 👍
@@alinwithther6 thanks 👍
Do you know if it s possible to install additional frame sliders with this crash bar?
You can clamp anything to these crash bars , extra spot lights, highway pegs, extra crush protection👍 but all need to be clamped on 👍
