Using these AS3 Performance crash bars is easy. First, gather all the parts included in the package - the bars, brackets, and bolts. Refer to the fitting instructions that come with the product. You can then start installing the bars on your 2012 - 2016 Suzuki DL 650 V - Strom as shown in the picture. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the bolts to make sure they are tight. Clean the bars with a mild soap and water solution to keep the textured matt black finish looking good. Note that these bars are designed specifically for your motorcycle model, so don't try to fit them on other bikes. Also, the 12 - month warranty covers manufacturing defects, so if you notice any issues within this period, contact the seller.
