    Just a quick question to the guys and gals that have te the Altrider crashbars fitted to their TR, do they mount square? Mine is lower on the near side then on the off side, is this normal?

    From memory, the bike is not symetrical (without walking out to my garage and looking I recall that the engine frame mounts that the altrider bars uses not symmetrical) and the altrider bars are designed to follow the lines of the bike, so it's slightly different on one side than the other. If they mount squarely on the engine mounts and the bars meet up together at the front then everything should be fine.

    Mine is slightly lower on the near side as well.
    I noticed it when I fitted them.
    I have never actually tried to level them.
    Lazy barstard I am.

    After you drop the bike a couple of times they won't be symmetrical anyway. :banana:

    mine were hanging over the edge of a scrap piece plywood, now they have their own dedicated wall bracket in the garage.
    just holding them up to the bike they look funky to install.
    plus I bought the silver ones which now I want to anodize black
