Check out the finished product. PM me if you're interested. As you can see, it bolts right up to the Givi bars and to the centre stand mounts. This is the one for sale. I bolted it on to test fit. { It is the pick of the 2!}:sunny:

Sorry to raise a difficult question but are you going to get enough air to the oil cooler now? Maybe relocating the oil cooler like was done for for the Two Wheels project vstrom might be a good idea. Basically mounted vertically on the RHS of the engine. Looks nice and neat and makes you wonder what is isnt there from the factory. I can scan a pic and put up if you haven't seen it.

Cheers

It's actually not that bad. If you have a look at what is commercially available and check out the V Strom site, you'll find oil cooling is not a problem and this is probably one of the better ones for air flow. I did consider that when I made the template up. Will keep an eye on the temp though initially! Cheers Cooney

Oky doky. I've not read a lot about the stroms but I did see the article about relocating (along with other things) in the two wheels. Just as long as it is something you though about - would want you melting down your pride and joy :yes: Hope it works well for you.

Looks good.
Will it fit the 650?
Can it be fitted without the Givi bars?
Cheers. :blink:

Without the Givi bars there is nothing to bolt the front to. You could however make a bracket> FWIW it would be easier to spend the $189 at Motomail and get the Givi crash bars
