Rear Protection Bars Set, Black

The saddlebag protection bars are the ideal complement to our engine protection bars, but they can also be installed without them. They optically integrate to the bike and offer outstanding protection for the rear of the heavy K1600. If your bike were to tip over, the protruding saddlebags would surely suffer some damage. These bars effectively protect the saddlebags against such damage. Also when maneuvering in tight spaces, the bars can protect your bike from scratches and other damage.

Each saddlebag protection bar attaches to the bike at three points so that in case of a fall, the impact is spread over all points and the energy is absorbed. Ground clearance and cornering clearance is not compromised. Available chrome plated or powder coated black.

Some facts:

Protects the saddlebags from side impacts and damage in a tip over
Three attachment points, each bar
Complexly shaped round tubing
Also provides a nice hand hold for the passenger
Additionally serves as a lifting and tie down point
Available in chrome or black
Supplied complete with all needed hardware and instructions
No modifications to the bike required
Made in Germany

Nice bars- Junk screws

★ ★ ★

rudyinOrange | August 13th, 2017

The bars are nice. I like them. Installation was straightforward and easy. I had a different set of bars and when the bike fell, the mounting brackets dropped. There were no bags on the bike. When I next tried to mount the bag on that side it wouldn't go because the bar had bent backwards. This was a zero mph drop. As others have mentioned the bolts are very soft and rounded out well before reaching the factory torque spec. I was using a torque wrench purchased here btw. I bought new bolts from a local distributor. Also, I'm still baffled why Widely seems adamant not to include Torx bolts where originally used on the bike. I'm glad I bought these but time, anergy and a bit of money wasted on a premium, premium proceed, product.

They installed easily and look very nice and I hope I never have to find out how tough they are. I dropped my bike in some gravel and there was $7500 worth of damage I wished I had these on before.

Best looking guards

Easy install great protection

J W Zprior (Cottonwood Hrights, UT) | August 17th, 2015

The install was very simple and easy. The bars provide great protection to both the side of the bike as well as the saddle bags. The only down side was the quality of the provided bolts/fasteners. Definately not hardened bolts. The bolt heads were easy to "strip". That being said I round recommend these bars to anyone looking for protection for a K1600 GT/GTL

Must have bar protection

was easy to install . A bit slender in design and it will take the side fall impact. pricey no doubt but would be alot cheaper than repairs in a low impact fall.

I just installed these on my 2012 K1600GTL and it only took a few minutes. They are of good quality, look nice, and will offer some protection if I ever drop the bike.

Installs in minutes

Having not ridden large bikes or any bikes for a period of 9 years, I dropped my brand new BMW 2015 K1600 GTL once on each side before getting 30 miles on the bike. I then installed the Rear Protection Set and have not dropped the bike since. So, if you are like me, do yourself a favor and install the bars as soon as you purchase your brand new bike.

Not overly excited

I installed these. However, the bolts used are not as high quality (nor the same size/type) as the OEM bolts. Also, the saddle bags bump the bar when you open them. But you can guide it around to avoid. Just need to be aware. And well finally, it WILL rub the leg of your passenger. All that being said, I have not seen a better option out there. Just seems like this is a protection item that could be better designed.

Good Rear Bars

These rear bars look good, and install easily - just like the instructions.

They do their job and look good too!

I've had these on my bike for a couple of years. A couple of tip overs and nothing more than slight scratches on the bars easily touched up. Recently I had a slow speed low-side accident on ice (it's a long story how I got there) and these protected the bike admirably. The left side took the impact and although the bar was bent backwards during the subsequent slide, it again did it's job protecting the softer parts. Overall damage was minimal and the bent bar replaced. Yes, I ordered them again because they worked so well in a condition that they were not really meant for.
