    TA 650 Givi engine bars

    Hi all I have a TA 650 fitted with a center stand and I have orderd a set of Givi engine bars but I have read that the engine bars use the same lugs as the center stand is this true? Is there any way to fit both.

    If not I'll be posting some givi engine bars on the site

    Help much app.

    The rear mounting bolt does go through the centre stand mounting point but I think it all depends on the type of stand fitted.
    Who made the stand?

    With the Givi bars you get a new pivot tube for the centre stand, through which the supplied bolt 'clamps' the bars to the mounting lugs.

    Good luck with that centre stand he, he, he........

    Thanks for the responses I'm glad I can at least fit the two together, I'll leave plenty of time for that job then. Any tips?

    Cheers all I got a response from Givi they said the same thing that the engine bars can be fitted with a CS but they suggested a mechanic to do it as it could be tricky.

    Thanks
