Ciao Guest, The owner of this website and GTMotoCycles.com lost his home completely on the morning of January 8th in the L.A. Wildfire Storm. Most of his neighborhood is gone, and a few friends were killed along with their pets. The GTM SHOP and STORE are functioning normally, but we DEMAND EXTREME PATIENCE on orders as we are a SMALL business and Todd usually has his hands on nearly every order before it goes out. You can find more info on a post named L.A. Wildfires in the USA section. Our heart and best go out to everyone in this horrific disaster.
guys
Last week, I decided to take on a DIY project and installed the OEM engine guards on my V100 Stelvio. It was very easy DIY.
Here's a picture of the finished look:
I must say, it not only adds a rugged look to the bike but also gives me peace of mind knowing the engine has that extra layer of protection. Installing them felt like a rite of passage for any motorcyclist, blending functionality with a bit of personalization.
If you choose to add some fog lights, a money saving hack is to use the OEM wiring harness combined with some Amazon or Ebay LED's and universal fog light wiring connectors. I spliced the universal wiring connectors on to the stock harness and ran the bare wires from the lights through the crash bars and then spliced the wiring connectors. I can disconnect the lights from the harness and remove the bars but cannot remove the lights from the bars with cutting the connectors. Small inconvenience but saved me about $400. Using the factory harness ties it in with the dash icon and switch.
