Anybody have anything good/bad to say about this crash bar setup from Ibex/Zeiger out of Germany? Considering these or GIVI's.

Look nice, can you get to the dct filter?

From a purely aesthetic point of view, these look great, especially in black. Interested in feedback also.

Engine crash bar, stainless steel, for Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin with DCT

Touratech’s engine crash bar provides optimum protection for the engine’s important side panels. Its slender design does not affect the lean angle at all and means you can ride on difficult single trails off-road as well as on-road. Made from resilient st

Hmm, looks bold and confident.

Nice share.

Engine and frame changed for the 2020 model. The link you provided is for the older model Twin, and not the Ibex/Zeiger manufacturer. Thank you for weighing in.

Currently waiting for the seller to reply back. No photos available for the DCT filter side of the bike.

Givi guards have been fantastic. A couple drops and a crash and no movement at all. Easy upper removal for tank/fairing access. Initial install is a pain, as pipes need to be dropped. Otherwise 10/10.

Sorry Check the Ibex/Zeiger mounts❓ it is not only the look off the bars that counts, but the strength off them that are important actually when you drop the bike

What's wrong with the stock crash bars? They do the job just fine 😂🤣

I just bought these a week ago but in black. Really quick to process and ship. Everything I got from the manufacturer was in German so I'm hoping I didn'tmiss any customs forms . Ebay says it's in transit so I'm hoping for the best. I'll let you know for sure when I get it.

Post a pic when installed.
I personally like the look of the stock bars. I ran them on mine (2020 ES) and also on my wife's (2020 base). I painted them red on for the base model, because they look so much greater red on the black bike!

Hopefully delivery and installation is uneventful.

I would agree on the design/color aspect.
But as far as the OE Lightbar working as a guard? Not so much
I have the ATAS bar and skidplate combo yet had a cracked RHS cover.
I know this does not happen with a proper setup like the Outback Motortek I had.

Excellent pics of the bike being used the way it should! Yours are the stock Honda bars painted red? Did you have to remove the pipes as part of the install?

Frothing at the mouth waiting to hear your observations! Especially interested in knowing if the pipes must be removed to install, and/or whether the bars are compatible with the stock Honda skid plate and exhaust shield. Svendus above indicates they may require use with aftermarket only skidplates and pipe shields.

The 2020 models don't come with the bars installed. I ordered them from Honda when we bought the bike for my wife and painted them red (with palstidip for easy touch up as it needed it already lol) before I installed them. And yes, the pipes need to be loosened at min in order to get the support bracket bolt in place due to its length. It's an easy job tho!

Just realized my wording led to confusion.... "Stock Honda bars" meaning the accessory available through Honda as opposed to other aftermarket sources. I know the bikes don't come with any bars installed, unless the dealer chooses to add them for an upsell.

 

[Jud]

They actually came with the bike on the Adv ES, until 2020. And then Honda went the Harley route...🤭😂🤣
...gotta buy everything separately 😕

I looked at a bunch but went Outback Mototek due to their practicality and strength.
