Heed bars for a 2017?
« on: June 23, 2018, 09:27:54 »
Hello all, thinking of upgrading my stock 2017 650. Looking at the heed bar and bash plate combo and Cosmo centre stand. I notice that the heed site says they are good for models up to 2014 models. Has anyone fitted to a 17 or 18 model?

The cosmo stand fits my 2017, and is a nice bit of kit imo :thumb:

Cheers. It's not glamarous but I think a centre stand is a bit of a no brainer. Especially with a chain drive. Will probably be the first mod..

Their original bars fit the pre-2012 no problem. I have them on my 2015 with engine cowl....tight but works fine. With a bash plate no probs.

Assuming the frame has not been changed for 2017+ then the fixing bolts work. However the 'new' model is slimmer and bodywork may not be logical with Heed bars.

Safety is to ask them and in saying that I also assume Heed haven't produced new engine bars for 2017+ V'Stroms.

I've just looked at their website and I don't see anything new but look yourself.  :icon_wink:
So how's it going so far then?

Thanks for that. I've not seen any new model info on their website either.
