Crash bars

[jeff4066]

Can I have your advice on the best Crash bars for a 1200gs. I keep seeing them on ebay and wondered if I would be better off buying with BMW originals or are there some other good makes of bars out there?

Hepco and beckers from motobins
Easy to fit and when I dropped the bike last year (whilst getting off...) they totally protected the rocker covers. The bm ones dont unless you also fit the head guards.

Hepco and becker, they saved my rocker cover in the snow this year

Well........up until yesterday i would've said TTech - but after having a pretty bad "off" in Spain, when they grounded, lifted the front & slid me across the road....I won't be fitting any when I'm fixed up!!

Motec for me 4, good value and looks, and I am assured by those unfortunates that have had the misfortune to test them, do the buisness.

Can the bike be serviced with these bars on??

Hepco and becker are super strong. I had a set fited to mine and I crashed it very hard up a rocky climb on the Hafren just gone. I expected to see half the engine missing, but There were only scratches to the bars.
I had tank protectors on too, which make getting the side panels off impossible. I doubt the tank protectors are really needed.

I never tried to service the valves on mine, but I recon you probably could do it.
