    I'm pretty sure these I have just received are the same as on China V's new Qlink. Anyway, you can see the fittings reasonably well. The bracket screws to the hanguard with acountersunk screw passing through a slot. The slot has no countersink to match the screw head, there is nothing that fits the underside of the slot on the bracket either. Just flat to flat. Seems like a poor design, a weak point. unless there is a bit missing from my kit?

    Has anyone else got these and are they the same as mine? China V?

    Yes, moved, thyank you.

    That is exactly the fitting I mean, thanks. Seems to lock up nice and tight on your bike, tight enough to hold it all together and protect in an 'off' I hope? Nothing on the underside to fit into the slot, just relies on the tightened bolt with a countersunk end, squeezed in to the flat-sided slot on the handguard? I can't fit it to my bars yet, the brace bar joins where I want that bracket to go. Will have ot fiddle around later. I also think, if I could find a longer bolt for the bar-end expanding fitting thingy, the bar-end mirrors could fit onto that. We shall see.

    Mr. E, is that poor thing lying on its side with a new ADLO tail box your beloved JH600? I hope your collar bone survived this mishap.
    BTW, I believe my all black ADLO box matches better with the black JH600.
    Cheers!
