    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.

    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.

    fortunately, they included new instuctions. Otherwise, it would be difficult to put these on yourself. They fit well and look great.

    Wunderlich Bag Protection Bars
    (Tucson, AZ) | January 3rd, 2011
    I purchased the silver powder coated bars. The finish is very smooth and matches the silver side panels on the motorcycle well. The bars fit very well and installation went very smoothly. I had no problem with installing the rack other than some minor access problems to hardware on the back side of the bars. The hardest part of the job is removing and reinstalling the luggage rack. The back two screws are installed vertically and they are difficult to get started and cross thread easily. I suggest the these two screws are installed first when reinstalling the rack. This allows for a lot of movement of the rack to get the screws started straight. Once these are in the rest of the rack hardware goes in easily.
    Rear Protection Bar, Black
    (Orwigsburg, PA) | December 29th, 2010
    REceived the black ones...very nice finish and perfect fit to the bike. Hardest part is taking the body panels off to get access to the frame itself. When you install, be careful of the front frame adapters. The screw heads are pretty shallow and can strip easily if you start to over tighten. They look excellent on the bike and do not inhibit riders legs at all. Very happy...I'm a repeat customer...Wunderlich has very high quality products if you can get by the instructions!! Highly recommend these.
