1999 Bandit 1200S - Renntec Engine Guards Installation

I have been looking for engine guards since I got my Bandit in 2018. When I saw Delboy's Garage ( / @moonfleet41 ) install a set of Renntec bars on their Suzuki GSX 1400
( • Suzuki GSX 1400, 'Renn... ). I decided to check them out.
A visit to renntec.com/ revealed that they had bars for my bike. I ordered a set and this video documents the trials and tribulations of their installation.
I am very please with the results!

I have these on my Bandit 600, cheaper than buying a "new" used tank if you drop the bike. I got to find out how well they work when I decided to move the bike around in my hot garage wearing flip flops. The only thing to touch the ground when the bike is laying over now is the handle bar end, front tire and engine guard. TMK.
