So I removed the crash bars , removed the copper grease from the bolts and block and kept it away from plastic and paint as much as possible and added the loctite ( not a lot ) and torqued up to spec .
I don’t know why I thought I knew better than the enclosed instructions, I guess the YouTube didn’t help , but now I’m confident of the fitment snd they look great .
I almost bought the red bars but the black disappear more

I got all excited at the word 'removed', thinking the scaffolding might be gone for good! It's a pity to have it on such an elegant bike. Crushable sylinder head covers would suffice IMO. And they don't try to tear chunks out of your sump when you crash.

I tried to buy the machine art ones but they don’t make them for a 2021 urban GS .
I know what you mean but the black shrinks them , plus a couple of spotlights(in yellow) later might look good mounted on them.
