Renntec Engine Bar Removal

[Milesy]

So I want to remove my engine bars but before I do, I would like to know if there is:

a:Anything that is likely to catch me out
b:what are the bolt sizes that I will need to replace

or are there some instructions knocking about somewhere?

Thanks

There's a full Suzuki workshop manual in the downloads section
http://gsx1400owners.org/forum/index.php?action=downloads;cat=6
Go there for a step by step guide on everything you'll need.
What type of rentec engine bars the full length ones or the just around the front of the motor ones ?
Normally just lower engine mounting bolts m6 allen key ? and front engine mounting bolt maybe 12mm or 14mm?
Sizes are in the manual as I don't have them to hand should only take 30 mins or so.

Apart from replacing the extended bolts with standard ones, if you have the full length bars, then you will need a couple of swing arm caps (as the rear bolt for the engine bars goes through the hollow swing arm bolt)

Not cheap from Mr Suzuki either...............

I'm 99% sure, you can keep extended bolts: For lover bolts, there should be enough space inside frame tube (mine bolts are 25mm long, and they fit even without crash-bars).
Front bolts should also fit if there is enough tread.

Thanks for all the reply's.

Most of the worries I had were that I would take them off and then the bolts would then be to long to go back in!

I have been looking in the manuals and I can find the length of the bolts but not their "M" size, am i going blind?

Lover bolts are M8-25 standard pitch for sure. I'm using A4-80 stainless allen head - no problems.

Front mount's.
I use with (and without) crash-bars M10-65mm with 1.25 pitch. I'm pretty sure, OEM bolt is the same, may be 5mm shorter. OEM bolts is stronger (I guess 10.9), but I use titanium from eBay, and so far I did not notice any issues with them - 2.5 years, with annual checking.
