Troubleshooting

Crash bars do not align correctly during installation.

Double-check that you are using the correct mounting hardware for each specific point and that the motorcycle's frame is not bent or obstructed. Ensure the bars are not forced into position; loosen adjacent bolts slightly if necessary to achieve alignment, then tighten all bolts evenly.
