A bit of a numpty question, dont laugh! How do I remove the four screws that hold the bars on. Mine (2000 model) has got some sort of very fine spline crome caps or something. They dont appear to lift off easily. I assume they come off somehow to reveal cap head screws? Are these specific to the 885 modlel or are all girlies the same?

Use a small screwdriver to lift the caps.  Underneath are 6mm allen screws.

All the allen screws should have them - they're a nice little finishing touch, but the chrome finish doesn't seem to last long.

Mine puzzled me for a while as well.

Rip those covers off with a screwdriver and throw them in the trash.  They are the sole reason for why a Tiger is so damned top heavy.   8)

I noticed a significant reduction in wind drag with them on, which equates to having at least one more cylinder on that amazing engine!!
