Title: Givi V85 Crash Bars from Motardinn
Post by: Amstaff on September 17, 2021, 05:06:50 PM

Seemed every  option for crash bars for the V85 were backordered. I took the chance on ordering from Spain and a retailer called Motardinn. Seemed sketchy, but searching produced forum threads indicating that they are legit. A week in customs at NYC and about a week and a half en route prior.


The GIVI bars from this outfit was $212 to my door. Slightly more difficult for valve cover removal compared to MG or Hepco Becker options. There’s a good ADV Rider thread here.

Glad you found something.  I had a hard time finding tires recently.  Thought I was going to have to trade a bike in to get fresh tires.

Note the difficulty getting to the 4mm allen for the starter cover once installed. Otherwise fairly straightforward albeit tedious with the language-less cartoon instructions. Semi flush plastic plugs obscure the front and rear threaded mounting holes.
