This side doesnt look right. The long bar going to the back of the bike is attaching to one of the allen bolts on the chain cover. That aint right is it? saying that...where else can it go ? cant really put them on wrong ......well maybe i can !!!

But how much is that going to protect the engine if it's mounted to it.
I've got engine bars fitted to a 650 I'll see if I can get close enough for a look tomoz

I'd suggest those bars are not for a 550 then , But it's only a bracket from frame bolt to bar thats needed.

The angle of the dangle remains in proportion to the thrust of lust provided the urge remains constant.
