    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.

    simple, clever and effective
    (Orange Park, Florida) | August 11th, 2013
    simple, clever and effective. What else can I say. BMW could learn a few things from Wunderlich.
    All I wanted
    (waltham, MA) | July 11th, 2013
    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.
    Rear protection bars
    (Oklahoma City, OK) | July 3rd, 2013
    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
    (Deerfield, Illinois) | June 3rd, 2013
    Great product, well made, easy to install
    Rear Protection Bar
    (belmont, vt) | April 18th, 2013
    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.
    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.
    Rear protection bars
    (Fargo, ND) | September 1st, 2012
    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.

    (Tunkhannock, PA) | August 28th, 2012
    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.
