    Description


    Rear Protection Bars, Silver

    These bars not only offer great protection for the expensive, original RT saddlebags, but also provide a genuine visual highlight. What has long been standard equipment for authority motorcycles is now available for civilian use. Made from rigid, seamless precision tubular steel, Wunderlich engineers have developed this supplemental bar that protects the side panels and bags of the RT against bumps and falls. At the same time, the bars are so discreet that they impede neither the rider's nor the passengers mobility. The easy operation of the original bag also remains unchanged. Additional advantage: The bars are a perfect lifting point and can be used to attach further accessories or luggage. For best results and protection for your bike, we suggest that you also install our engine protection bars.

    Details:

    • Comfortable holding point for the passenger
    • Supplemental reinforcement of sub-frame
    • Made of seamless, precision steel tubing
    • Robust attachment at four points on each side
    • Ideal for the attachment of additional accessories or luggage
    • Perfect lifting point when placing the bike on the center stand
    • Protects the saddlebags from front and side impact, also in a tip over
    • Complete set of left & right bars with instructions and all needed hardware
    • Unobtrusive; full range of rider and passenger movement unchanged
    • Operation, removal, installation of saddlebags unchanged
    • No modifications to the bike are needed
    • Does not fit Low suspension models
    • Made in Germany

    Because the saddlebags are the widest point of the bike, wider than the cylinders, damage without these guards is more likely.

    Please Note: Not for Low Suspension Models! Why? The Paralever strut of the rear suspension may contact the inner mounting point of the protection bar under full suspension compression.

    Installation tip: Please see the Product Video link above for supplemental installation instructions. The video for this product also has some useful information. Please note that the bike in the video also has our engine protection bars installed.

    Quick Security
    (Juneau, AK) | December 9th, 2013
    After downloading the instructions for the necessary disassembly of the bikes back end, this was a pretty quick project. When completed the bars feel pretty robust and really make getting to the center stand a lot easier. The bike is in winter storage now, but my main pillion rider tried it out and felt like the new bars rubbed a little. We'll know for sure in the spring. It also appears that in order to remove the rear tire the rear body trim and luggage rack will have to be removed.

    Look good and are functional. But... difficult to install. Removal of side panels and then re-installing them was a major pain. Took hours to complete. At times frustrating.

    Wow, no sooner did I have the protection installed than I took the bike off the center stand and proceeded to lose it on its right side. The bars protected the right-side case just like it was supposed to! Man, was that a close call! I would definitely purchase this product again.

    simple, clever and effective

    simple, clever and effective. What else can I say. BMW could learn a few things from Wunderlich.
    Nice product but a problem
    (Bellevue, NE) | July 29th, 2013
    I am not a mechanic but after watching the video and reading the directions I managed to install the bars. Nice finish on the silver bars and good fit for all of the fastening points. Problem with the left side bar at the bottom where it ends very near the muffler attachment bolt. The bar end blocks access to the bolt head. I think the bar end could have been bent in a manner to permit access to the muffler bolt head when manufactured. Or some work around offered on how to remove the muffler bolt without removing the protection bar.
    All I wanted

    This engine guard is just what I wanted. Easy to put on took about � hour. Looks good matches the silver paint on the bike. Hope it will protect my bike, have not tested it yet.

    Excellent product. I bought the silver and they match the color of the lower panels and rear rack. Excellent fit. Bags easy to remove and put back on. Added advantage is the bar is great to lift bike onto the center stand. Take note!! It would be wise to remove the star bolt in the exhaust suspension bracket and replace it with a nut/bolt combo. You can't get a star fitting in to remove the exhaust but could get a wrench in.
    Great product

    Great product, well made, easy to install
    Unfortunately, Got A Chance To Try Them Out!
    (Denver, Pa) | May 27th, 2013
    Installation instructions could have been a little better. Also, parts had to be \"manipulated\" in order to fit properly. Once installed, they do provide a very solid guard around the side cases. It gives you a nice grip to pick the bike up if needed. Which, I had to do immediately after I installed these. I was moving the bike and thought I had put the kick stand down, went to get off the bike and quickly found out I hadn\'t put the kick stand Dow. It had sprung back up. I had the engine gurds in place as well. Luckily! There was no damage to the bike it\'s self, but both the engine guard and the saddle bag guards got scuffed up. I was a little surprised by that because it fell on the wooden floor of my shed. I was disappointed, but glad they were there to take the brunt of the fall. I\'m not too us rhos they would have faired if I had been moving at a fair clip and they had fallen on macadam.

    Well made, but a bear to install. Lotsa plastic to remove before installation. Took me a few hours diddling(tm) to get the install and get back together. Don\'t drop the screws while doing the work, it\'s a mutha getting them back in your fingers.
