I was just wondering if many have fitted engine bars? Which are the best and do they actually work? Any advice/views would be good. I have a new R1200 RT LC.
They do not come with any bars - have to be added as an extra. I was just wondering about the different options out there and if they actually work when needed.
I have a white 2017 RT without bars. If I were going to install a set I would probably get the law enforcement (authority) bars for functionality and have them powder coated black. Not sure how any of the other types would hold up except for a parking lot tip over but maybe someone with a real world save can chime in.
Check this guy's website for his opinion on Illium's.
Good luck and great choice of bike - you won't be disappointed.
I was fortunate to grab a bargain of Touratech bars from a forum member off here ,, i think there brushed stainless and IMO look a lot better than the black ones.
