Great product and a perfect fit, well worth the price paid, packaging was also first class, just one thing though, ensure you read the fitting instructions through. If you want a high quality crash bar this must be one of the best.
By utilizing the R 200GS's robust frame mount and incorporating the existing frame hardware, AltRider designed a quality piece that will protect your motor. Unlike other crash bars, these do not use flanges or weak tabs and are not hung: they are actually mounted. Made with a shot peen satin finish means that even when the bike takes a spill, the stainless bars will never show signs of rust.
These crash bars deflect the impact from the cylinders and engine case to the strongest parts of the frame. Unlike other manufacturers, our design provides plenty of clearance around the vulnerable left oil line. It also serves double-duty as a boot rest on long rides!
Save yourself hassle and frustration - and the purchase of a £345 valve cover - by installing AltRider crash bars. Also available in Black.
An advantage to the AltRider design is the comprehensive protection provided to the valve cover. This is especially important on 2010 and newer models because contact to the valve cover can cause the gasket to dislodge resulting in massive oil loss.
Take a moment to review the instructions (see www.altrider.com). The reason we mention this here is to make you aware which mount points on the R1200GS have strength.
