Finally Installed Tones Chrome Side Bars

[Lizardmen3477]

Wow what a pain that was 20 mins my @$$. More like 2 hours and every kuss word in the book with cut up fingers and hands. Anyway it was well worth it I love the new look. Everyone check out my gallery and have a good one.

The bars look great, but where are your tires?
Peace.

Don't worry. After you take them off and on 4 times you can actually do it in 30-60 minutes. The trick is to remove the bars from the brackets & bolt them in place first - put the bars on last.

I really like the look of the black on my Proton but still haven't managed to modify the brackets to work with my wheel/tire combo so right now I'm still running without. One day I'll get'r done.

And if you actually want to be able to step on them, put about 9-10 thick washers on each side. That's what I did to mine.

I'm planning on mine being slightly lower rather than pushing them out. That should make them more useful without making them knee bangers.

Look at my gallery - I don't see how you can bang your knees up against it. But of course, it's your VX and you can do what you like - mine was just a quick simple fix without any major mod.
