Assembly

  1. Clear the ends of the handlebar by removing the stock bar ends.
  2. Position the frame loosely and check that levers and cables remain free when the steering is turned.
  3. Secure the inner attachment, then the outer attachment.
  4. Complete the tightening to the manufacturer's torque specifications and repeat the check after 100 km.

Torque settings and complete sequence in the official Barkbusters instructions (INS-BHG-089-00-NP).

Frequently Asked Questions

My CFMoto is not in the table: can I still mount it?
No. The kit is designed for the handlebar geometry of the 9 models listed. Both the model and the year are needed: a CFMoto 450IBEX from a different year may require a different kit.

Are the protection plastics included?
No. Barkbusters sells the frame and plastics separately: here is only the aluminum frame with the screws. JET, VPS, STORM, and CARBON plastics are ordered separately and are interchangeable.

Do I need to reuse the original bar ends?
No, the kit includes its own handlebar weights and replaces the stock ones.
