Right then, first you need to buy the Suzuki DL650 VStrom Handguard kit (usually 22 UKP from a dealer)
Next step below is to get your bar end weights off and machined to these dimentions
On the throttle side remove the existing lever pivot bolt and replace with this one from the kit
then insert it like this (this is a threaded straight swap for the origonal one)
Offer up the handguard securing it with the supplied Screw and Washer at the top
Then fit a supplied locknut and washer on the bottom like this
And clip the other end into the machined groove like this (may need to alter the hydraulic resovoir along the bar slightly to line up) that's the throttle side finished
right now onto the clutch side, remove the origonal pivot pin then get a 6mm drill and remove the thread from the bottom of the lever pivot hole (this is needed as the suzuki supplied bolt is a set thread )
ok i have an update to this
instead of drilling out the clutch side thread, get hold of a 6mm die or die nut and thread the bolt until the first shoulder. then it will fit in correctly and you haven't had to drill the thread.
then insert this lever pin from the kit
Clip the handguard over the top of the stud
And Secure using the dome nut and a washer
there is a spacer that you need to fit on the underside (I also used a washer top and bottom of the plastic handguard) and secure with another locknut (supplied)
Clip the other end into the Bar weight
Optionally you can fill up the groove with sillicon (like i did)
Thats it your all done and here are some pictures of the finished job
Jobs a Carrot Cheap and easy alternative to the BMW ones.
