Evening chaps!

First of, i have an 09 xt 660 R (also incase anyone is interested its black)
I have bought a set of crash bars from ze Germans at Off the Road, and am having a lot of trouble fitting them, their instructions dont seem to work as they ask me to use the original bolt in one part whereby it is far too short. Anyway primarily the gear lever hits the crash bar so i wouldnt be able to change gear!

I was wondering if anyone had tried fitting (un/successfully) fitting a set and how they overcame this!

I also bought their bash plate (and i know its not their fault but i fancy a moan) and cant fit that as the bolt i am supposed to remove from my bike wont come out as it hits the pipe!

Any help is much appreciated


Thanks in advance!
