Taking a nap or testing rear crashbars.

Scott, what bars are using?

I dropped my K1600 in a gravel Carpark last year and a set of these would have saved a lot of cosmetic damage

Wunderlich rear bars on my first GTL survived a get off after an encounter with Bambi. The bars were scuffed but unbent and were easily bolted onto my next GTL. The same bar was also subjected to a low speed low side get off on day 10 of the 15' IBR. Both times no damage to the side case. Although they are a bit uncomfortable for the passenger because of the height. I can testify to the durability if you are a solo rider, but cannot recommend if you travel with a pillion.

Which bars are you using? I've got Alt Riders on the engine and Ilium Works on the rear. Haven't tested them. Yet.

BMW bars on the engine, Wunderlich on the rear. Sold the bike last summer.
