Using these AS3 Performance crash bars is easy. First, find all the brackets and bolts that come with the bars. Then, follow the included fitting instructions to mount them on your 2012 - 2015 Honda VFR 1200 X Crosstourer (remember, they won't fit DCT models). When it comes to maintenance, a simple wipe with a clean cloth will keep the textured matt black finish looking good. Check the bolts regularly to make sure they're tight. If you notice any damage, contact us as the bars come with a 12 - month warranty. Keep in mind that these bars are made to protect your bike's engine and fairings, so ride safely and let them do their job.
