Touratech Engine Bars

Just got the following e-mail from TT:

We have been given an ETA of week 10 which is the first week of March. Hopefully they will start to come through then but this is not 100% guaranteed yet.

I suppose it's good to know that they're so concerned about quality control that it's taking so long........

I ordered mine in October but, got fed up waiting last week and got the HB ones. They were very easy to fit, look great and seem to offer a good level of protection but, I would sooner have had the practicality of stainless steel. It's just seems daft to offer something for sale and not be able to supply them for six months!

I suggest you order the H & B bars.. very good and nice

I am led to believe Touratech commissioned a sub-contractor to supply bars to a certain spec......, but when they received the first batch they were pants, which is how we now have to crash without protected cylinder-heads.............or maybe not crash at all?

It's so unfair!

Funny, that's exactly the same excuse BMW gave about the camshafts on the new K12 sporty thing

These TT bars are the stainless steeel ones, aren't they? Has ANYONE seen them in person yet?

Just got the following e-mail from TT:

Having had the TT bars on order from before i ordered the bike(September) and having been given to date 3, yes three different dates for production i wouldnt hold out much hope of getting the TT bars this side of summer, TT make good gear, albeit overpriced but by christ they have a lot to learn in the customer service department, they are without doubt IMHO the worst company i've dealt with when it comes to keeping the customer informed, if i thrived on a diet of bullshit i'd be 40 stone plus fed TT's interminable crap.

Maybe they used to work for BT?

Raw unpainted stainless would look very sharp, until you drop it and scratch the guards.. on the other hand, the HB guards.. drop them a few times.. then.. buy a can of paint.. spray them, and they'll look as good as new... plus, they protect the entire bottom of the jugs...
