    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.

    good investment
    (PLANO, TX) | April 12th, 2013
    I\'ve always had bag guards on my touring bikes. These were the closest match to the engine guards. The installed easily and are sturdy. They provide a convenient grip point when putting the bike on the center stand
    Very strong protection
    (Prairieville, LA) | October 26th, 2012
    These bars were the first thing I added to the bike after purchase. You do not want to drop on the nice painted cases ! Installation is a bit tedious and requires removal of all the tupperware, and taking apart the rear rack to mount the bars on each side, but taking time and cross checking your work will result in a very strong setup that gives the civilian RT the same protection the RTP bikes have when combined with the engine protection bars.

    Rock solid. Some tweaking involved for lining up anchor points. Install all the bolts loosely first, then tighten. This helps. Great anchor points for straps. Center stand lift is now a breeze.

    As several add ons were being installed at the same time I took off 75% of the tupperware to accomplish everything at one time. The Bars went in fairly easy doing the install by myself. They also make putting the bike up on the center stand much easier.

    Engine and Bag protection
    (Murphysboro, IL) | July 9th, 2012
    Great look and Easy to install, about an hour on the bag bars and around 45min on the engine bars. A little pricy, but you have to pay to play. All in all, a great product.
    Well made engine and saddlebag protection
    (Turner Valley, Alberta) | June 15th, 2012
    This is an excellent product, very expensive, but once installed does the job very well. Its a bit tough to install, and requires patience.
    Great Product
    (kelowna, BC) | November 2nd, 2011
    The product is well worth the money. The installation is made easier with the additional instructions that are now provided.
    Nice Protection
    (Prevost, QC) | August 4th, 2011
    The bars provide nice protection for the side cases. Had a minor issue with the left side as the bar was a little too apart to get to the bottom screw hole. Solved that with a cargo ratchet strap in a jiffy.
    Nice Bars - 2011 R1200RT
    (Swift Current, SK) | May 22nd, 2011
    Nice bars and install was fairly complex. One glitch...the rear luggage rack can be tricky. When undoing one of the rear bolts, it bound up and the brass insert broke away from the rack. It was about 1/4" loosened when this occurred. Managed to complete the install without totally removing the rack. The nasty bolt/bushing wouldn't tighten either...just spin. Had the dealer remove and replace with a standard bolt/lock nut at 1000 k check...problem solved. The bars fit nice and look great. Good protection for panniers and work well with engine guards. Shipping to Canada was quick and smooth.
