DOHC crashbars

[Joepi5]

Hello!

My bike, a 2010 camhead/dohc model, is currently equipped with a set of (i think) the Wunderlich crash bars. Assuming they work great, never needed to test them...

However, what I don't like about these is that they block access to the screws of the secondary (bottom) sparkplug cover. Whenever I need to change the sparkplugs the bars need to come off. In itself that's not really an issue, except for the fact that means that the rear frame bottom bolts need to be removed regularly. In my opinion this is a strange/faulty design choice.

Does anyone know if there are crash bars that allow access to replace the secondary plugs without removing the crash bars?

Standard GSA bars.

Only those? Or are there others? These are hard to find, BMW doesn't seem to sell them anymore.

The touratech website states "most maintenance can be done without removing." But it doesn't say what can and can't be done.
