I still have not received my fix. My last email from the Aust. distributor suggested AltRider had not despatched them yet.
Got mine today. If it hadn't been for this thread I may have had a problem thanks for posting this information and thanks Alt Rider.
I ordered a set of the Altrider crash bars on Thursday evening before xmas and only paid standard shipping, and they were delivered the following Monday with the added part. Fortunately from this site I knew there was an extra part, I found a picture of what to do with it, because otherwise, it was not mentioned in the instructions. Has anybody gone down hard with these bars? I was wondering about real world experience. They seem solid, but am just a bit worried about the upper mount to the aluminum engine (through the frame, the frame likely taking most of the force in a crash). The bars look like a very good place to mount lights.
Not me, I've no desire to get into an accident at the moment. This thread has been a sticky long enough, I'll unstick it now.
