    Best value crash bars for my Dad's XL700V?

    I have a set of SW Motech crash bars for my TA 600: llook nice! However, my Dad has none for his 700.

    What crash bars suit the 700 well?

    Easy to fit and the cheaper, the better.

    Suggestions?

    Just bought and fitted the Givi ones to mine. Prefer the looks of them to others but thats down to personal taste. Very easy to fit, seem well made (some report poor corrosion resistance though) and were a good price. £116 delivered for free from Motorbikes and Parts(?). They have free delivery on any Givi bits over £50.

    Grab a couple of good for nothing street urchins and some Duck brand tape

    Else I have the SWMotechs for the 700 and pics are in my profile. Good luck.

    I have the Givi bars on my 650 and the only problem with them is the poor paint finish they are able to take a few knocks though.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
