what crashbars and alucases for 1150 adv??

[sbn]

Need crashbars/engineguard for a 1150 gs adv. But I dont really know which one to get?

Im looking at the ones from touratech, sw motech and hepco-becker. Any thoughts imputs?

Or should I just get the original BMW gs adv guards? - if they are still sold.

Or mayby I am missing guards sold from other manufactures???

Same question about alucases?

Bought the bike without guards and alu cases so dont have any experience with any.

Thanks.

Got Hepco-Becker on my 1150gs. Easy to fit and wrap right around cylinder head. Been on for several years, no complaints.

Ally cases

For ally cases, check out Verns Worldbeater panniers.

His site here: http://www.projectvnd.com/

The best you'll get at a really good price.

verns world beaters take some beating stainless steel frame work and alloy boxes made to what ever size you want

But what's the average sort of price on them? They do look bl00dy good.

For protection the hepco and beckers are better than the OE BM bars as they are less likely to tip the bike onto the tank when it falls over, the BM bars are renound for this Also consider some proper cast ally cylinder head guards as made by steptoe of this site. In a lot of respects the headguards are better than the crash bars unless you off-road, in which case you'll be wanting both

give vern a ring he might just have some pre production panniers left over

Sw motec bars do me just fine. Any pics of the ally head guards???

Hepco & Becker engine bars and Ard Case panniers. Works for me.
